16 David also (beloved) told the leaders of the Levites to appoint their relatives as singers to lift up their voices with joy, accompanied by musical instruments—harps, lyres, and cymbals. 17 So the Levites appointed Heman (faithful) son of Joel (YHWH is God); from his brothers, Asaph (gatherer) son of Berechiah (YHWH blesses); from their brothers the Merarites (bitter), Ethan (enduring) son of Kushaiah (bow of YHWH); 18 and with them their brothers next in rank: Zechariah (YHWH remembers), Jaaziel (made bold by God), Shemiramoth (name of heights), Jehiel (God lives), Unni (afflicted), Eliab (God is father), Benaiah (YHWH has built up), Maaseiah (work of YHWH), Mattithiah (gift of YHWH), Eliphelehu (my God sets him apart), Mikneiah (possession of YHWH), and the gatekeepers Obed-edom (servant of Edom) and Jeiel [and Azaziah]. 1 Chronicles 15:16-18, Berean Annotated Bible.
