So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord,.... The elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, 1Ch 15:25; besides the common people; there might be as large a number with him now as before:with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet; with the shouts of the people in common, and with blowing of trumpets by those who were appointed for that purpose, and with other instruments of music, see 1Ch 15:27; Josephus says , that seven choirs went before the priests bearing the ark, as the king commanded, he himself playing on the harp; so the Septuagint version.
