Egyptian Harp
Musical instrument, probably somewhat like those now bearing the name, for such are seen depicted on the Egyptian monuments. The harp is mentioned as early as Genesis 21. It was one of the instruments used in the temple service (1 Kings 10:12; 1 Chron. 13:8). The harp is remarkable for its soft, soothing sounds. It was used by David to drive away the evil spirit from Saul (1 Sam. 16:23); and it is the only musical instrument referred to symbolically as being in heaven (Rev. 5:8; Rev. 14:2): called “the harps of God” in Revelation 15:2.
