Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.

and four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised Jehovah with the instruments which I made,'said David , to praise therewith.

Moreover four thousand were porters: and as many singers singing to the Lord with the instruments, which he had made to sing with.

Moreover, four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise with them.

and four thousand gatekeepers, and four thousand giving praise to Jehovah, 'with instruments that I made for praising,' saith David.

Four thousand were door-keepers; and four thousand gave praise to the Lord with the instruments which I made, said David, for giving praise.

and four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised the LORD 'with the instruments which I made to praise therewith.'

Moreover, four thousand were porters. And the same number were the singers of psalms to the Lord, with the musical instruments which he had made for the music.

Four thousand praised the Lord - David made this distribution according to his own judgment, and from the dictates of his piety; but it does not appear that he had any positive Divine authority for such arrangements. As to the instruments of music which he made they are condemned elsewhere; see Amos 6:5, to which this verse is allowed to be the parallel.

Moreover four thousand were porters,.... At the east, north, and south gates of the temple, in their turns:
and four thousand praised the Lord with the instruments; were singers in the temple, which in all made up 38,000:
which I made, said David, to praise therewith; which instruments he devised and ordered to be made to praise the Lord with; see 2-Chronicles 29:26.

praised the Lord with the instruments which I made--David seems to have been an inventor of many of the musical instruments used in the temple (Amos 6:5).
