King David appointed song leaders and choirs to praise God in the Tabernacle after he had placed the Ark in it. Then, when Solomon built the Temple at Jerusalem, the choirs carried on their work there. 1 Chronicles 6:31, 32

 

11 Some of us have been given special ability as apostles; to others he has given the gift of being able to preach well; some have special ability in winning people to Christ, helping them to trust him as their Savior; still others have a gift for caring for God’s people as a shepherd does his sheep, leading and teaching them in the ways of God.

12 Why? So that God’s people will be equipped to do better work for him, building up the Church, the body of Christ, to a position of strength and maturity; 

13 until finally we all believe alike about our salvation and about our Saviour, God’s Son, and all become full-grown in the Lord—yes, to the point of being filled full with Christ. Ephesian 4:11-13
