‏ 1 Chronicles 25:2-4

v. 2: This work of singing and playing music is called a service, and those who did it are called workmen. Even though praising God is a joy, it also takes effort and dedication. The singers had to work hard and focus their hearts on giving their best to God.

v. 3: Many different instruments were used in worship, including harps, psalteries, and cymbals. Sometimes, wind instruments like horns were also used. Although we may not use these exact instruments today, we should remember that music was once used in a sacred way. We should always keep music pure and free from anything wrong or unholy, as the prophet Amos warned: They invented to themselves instruments of music like David(Amos 6:5 ^a).

v. 4: The main goal of all this music was to give thanks and praise the Lord(1 Chronicles 25:3 ^b). The singers learned special songs for worship in the house of God (1 Chronicles 25:6-7 ^c). This matches what we are told in the New Testament: make melody with the heart unto the Lord(Ephesians 5:19 ^d).
