Genesis 4
²⁰ Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.
²¹ His brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe.

Psalm 77:6
I remember my music in the night, With my heart I meditate, and my spirit doth search diligently:
(Whole Chapter: Psalm 77 In context: Psalm 77:5-7)

1 Corinthians 13:1
If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
(Whole Chapter: 1 Corinthians 13 In context: 1 Corinthians 13:1-2)

This is the only time the word gong (chalkos*) is used in the New Testament. After verse 1 in 1 Cor 13 Paul, the writer, goes on to give a description of Love that is as complete and eternal as any found in all the history of literature and language.

'*Chalkos' is the Greek word used in 1 Cor 13:1. Chalkos is typically translated as gong, brass or copper.
