Number and Services of Musicians

Moreover, David and the commanders of the army separated for the service some of the sons of Asaph and of Heman and of Jeduthun, who were to prophesy with lyres, harps, and cymbals; and the number of [fn]those who performed their service was:

Of the sons of Asaph:

Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and [fn]Asharelah; the sons of Asaph were under the [fn]direction of Asaph, who prophesied under the [fn]direction of the king.

Of Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun:

Gedaliah, [fn]Zeri, Jeshaiah, [fn]Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the [fn]direction of their father Jeduthun with the harp, who prophesied in giving thanks and praising Yahweh.

Of Heman, the sons of Heman:

Bukkiah, Mattaniah, [fn]Uzziel, [fn]Shebuel and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti and Romamti-ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, Mahazioth.

All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer to [fn]exalt him according to the words of God. So God gave fourteen sons and three daughters to Heman.

All these were under the [fn]direction of their father to sing in the house of Yahweh, with cymbals, harps, and lyres, for the service of the house of God. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were under the [fn]direction of the king. And their number who were trained in singing to Yahweh, with their [fn]relatives, all who were skillful, was 288.
