David: King of Israel: David As Musician

When David came to Saul and entered his service, Saul loved him very much, and David became his armor-bearer. …

David also told the leaders of the Levites to appoint their relatives as singers to lift up their voices with joy, accompanied by musical instruments—harps, lyres, and cymbals.

…4,000 are to be gatekeepers, and 4,000 are to praise the LORD with the instruments I have made for giving praise.”

The priests stood at their posts, as did the Levites with the musical instruments of the LORD, which King David had made for giving thanks to the LORD and with which David had offered praise, saying, “For His loving devotion endures forever.” Across from the Levites, the priests sounded trumpets, and all the Israelites were standing.

The Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.

…and his associates—Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani—with the musical instruments prescribed by David the man of God. Ezra the scribe led the procession.

You improvise songs on the harp like David and invent your own musical instruments.
