harp in 2 Samuel 6
HARP
This thing shows up in 2 Samuel 6:5: “David and all the house of Israel played before Yahweh with all kinds of instruments made of cypress wood, with harps, with stringed…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
2 Samuel 6:5
“David and all the house of Israel played before Yahweh with all kinds of instruments made of cypress wood, with harps, with stringed instruments, with tambourines, with castanets, and with cymbals.”
