1 Chronicles 16:1–6, “So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God. And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD. And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to record, and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel: Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obededom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals; Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.”
David brought the Ark into Jerusalem and put it in a tent that he set up in the city. Once the Ark was established in Jerusalem David made sure that the proper sacrifices were offered to the Lord and they praised the Lord for all that He had done. In order to celebrate the fact that the Ark was in Jerusalem and they were offering the proper sacrifices David gave all the people in Israel some bread and meat so that they could celebrate as well. The people also sang praises to the Lord and the professional musicians were appointed to make sure that praises were sung to the Lord continually.
