Sing A Song Part 8

The origin of instruments biblically is given in Genesis 4:21. In this passage the father of musical instruments, Jubal, is mentioned. Specific musicians were anointed and appointed for praise worship in 1 Chronicles 23:5. This appears in 2 Chronicles 5:12-13, 23:1-18, 31:2, 35:15-25 as well as in Ezra 2:64, Ezra 3:10,11. The musicians were even given an office in 2 Chronicles 7:6, 1 Chronicles 16:4-6, 1 Chronicles 16:4-6, 1 Chronicles 23:5-6, and 1 Chronicles 25:1. The musicians even went before David to announce wars or worship to God. (2 Chronicles 29:23-26) as well as going before other kings (I Kings 10:2, 2 Chronicles 9:11) and the announcements and pronouncements got rather large. (I Chronicles 15:20, Genesis 31:27, Exodus 15:1, 20,21)
