13:8 while David and all Israel were energetically 1 celebrating before God, singing and playing various stringed instruments, 2 tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.
1 tnHeb “with all strength.”
2 tnHeb “with songs and with zithers [meaning uncertain] and with harps.” Due to the collocation with “harps,” some type of stringed instrument is probably in view.
