Here is the link for that article I was complaining about. But this is off topic. I have to get some fruit from the tree of music used in wars around the world. Where to start? Let’s start with scriptures. Music in the Bible that is not about praise but about how music was used for warfare:

(NOT warfare: The Magnificat in Luke, along with Zacharias’s “Song;” singing in prison of Paul and Silas with the result of the prison being shaken and the doors flying open; and Ephesians from Paul exhorting the use of psalms and spiritual songs.)

Okay, let’s put search results for “music” in:

Aha! Isaiah 30:32 says, “Every stroke the Lord lays on them with his punishing club will be to the music of timbrels and harps, as he fights them in battle with the blows of his arm.” Sounds pretty war-like. Hmm. A timbrel I can see, being the ancient forebear of the modern tambourine. Harps I have to learn more about.

Jubal. Mentioned in Genesis 4:21 as “father (inventor?) of all such as handle the harp and the organ (KJV).”
