1 Chronicles 25:1-8 ▼

1 And David and the heads of the host separated for service some of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, to prophesy with harps, stringed instruments, and cymbals; and the number of the men of work was according to their service:

2 Of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asharelah, the sons of Asaph under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied according to the order of the king.

3 Of Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah—six—under the hand of their father Jeduthun, prophesying with a harp for giving of thanks and praise to YHWH.

4 Of Heman, the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamti-ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, Mahazioth.

5 All these were the sons of Heman, seer of the king in the words of God, to lift up a horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

6 All these were under the hand of their father in the song of the house of YHWH, with cymbals, harps, and lyres, for the service of the house of God. Under the hand of the king were Asaph, and Jeduthun, and Heman.

7 And the number of them with their brothers, who were instructed in the songs of YHWH, all who were skillful, was two hundred eighty-eight.

8 And they cast lots for their duty unto the small as well as the great, the teacher with the pupil.
