1 Kings 8:14New International Reader's VersionThe whole community of Israel was standing there. The king turned around and gave them his blessing. See the chapter |
The priests and Levites took their positions. The Levites played the Lord’s musical instruments. King David had made them for praising the Lord. They were used when he gave thanks to the Lord. He said, “His faithful love continues forever.” Across from where the Levites were, the priests blew their trumpets. All the people of Israel were standing.
