In Solomon's time harps were made of almug-trees (1 Kings 10:11,12 ). In 1 Chronicles 15:21 mention is made of "harps on the Sheminith;" Revised Version, "harps set to the Sheminith;" better perhaps "harps of eight strings." The soothing effect of the music of the harp is referred to 1 Samuel 16:16,23; 18:10; 19:9 . The church in heaven is represented as celebrating the triumphs of the Redeemer "harping with their harps" (Revelation 14:2 ).
