Zechariah's kinsmen, named one by one, marched with the musical instruments David had appointed, and Ezra the scribe went at the head of this company along the wall.
David's instruments and Ezra's presence join the worship of song to the authority of God's word, for Ezra was the teacher of the law. Praise and Scripture move together at the front of the procession. A people are most truly renewed when their joy is shaped by the truth God has spoken.
