As an amateur guitarist and singer it pleases me to note the part that music seems to play in the day-to-day affairs of ancient Jerusalem. For example, musicians stay in the temple, because their work continues both day and night. (1 Chronicles 9:33) Singers are brought to sing at the dedication of the walls of Jerusalem. (Nehemiah 12:28) Two choirs are sent to to the top of the walls in order to sing thanks to God. (Nehemiah 12:31) Afterward the two choirs join together with musicians in the temple, offering up a concert of praise that can be heard far away from Jerusalem! (Nehemiah 12:40-43)
Halleluiah! Praise the Lord!
