The Installation of the Ark and the Acoustic Matrix

So they brought the ark of Alahiym, and set it in the midst of the tent that Dawid had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before Alahiym.
16:2
And when Dawid had made an end of offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄.
16:3
And he dealt to every one of Yashar'al, 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 Lawiytes to minister before the ark of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, and to record, and to thank and praise 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 Alahiym of Yashar'al:
16:5
Asaph the chief, and next to him Zekaryahu, Yeiel, and Shamiramoth, and Yehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom: and Yeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals;

16:13
O ye seed of Yashar'al his servant, ye children of Ya’aqob, his chosen ones.
16:14
He is 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 our Alahiym; his judgments are in all the earth.

Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;
