1 CHRONICLES 25 (NIV)

1 David, together with the commanders of the army, set apart some of the sons
of Asaph, Heman and Jeduthun for the ministry of prophesying, accompanied by
harps, lyres and cymbals. Here is the list of the men who performed this
service:

2 From the sons of Asaph:
Zakkur, Joseph, Nethaniah and Asarelah. The sons of Asaph were under the
supervision of Asaph, who prophesied under the king’s supervision.

3 As for Jeduthun, from his sons:
Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah and Mattithiah, six in all, under
the supervision of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied, using the harp in
thanking and praising the Lord.

4 As for Heman, from his sons:
Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shubael and Jerimoth; Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah,
Giddalti and Romamti-Ezer; Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir and Mahazioth.

5
(All these were sons of Heman the king’s seer. They were given him through the
promises of God to exalt him. God gave Heman fourteen sons and three
daughters.)

6 All these men were under the supervision of their father for the music of
the temple of the Lord, with cymbals, lyres and harps, for the ministry at the
house of God.
Asaph, Jeduthun and Heman were under the supervision of the king. 7 Along with
their relatives—all of them trained and skilled in music for the Lord—they
numbered 288.
