1 Moreover, David
and the captains
of the army set
apart for the
service certain of
the sons of Asaph,
of Heman, and
of Jeduthun, who
were to prophesy
with harps,
with stringed instruments, and
with cymbals. The
number of those
who did the
work according to
their service was:
2 of
the sons of Asaph:
Zaccur, Joseph,
Nethaniah, and Asharelah.
The sons of Asaph
were under the
hand of Asaph, who
prophesied at the
order of the
king.
3 Of
Jeduthun, the sons
of Jeduthun:
Gedaliah, Zeri,
Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah,
and Mattithiah,
six, under the
hands of their
father Jeduthun,
who prophesied in
giving thanks and
praising the LORD
with the harp.
4 Of
Heman, the sons
of Heman: Bukkiah,
Mattaniah, Uzziel,
Shebuel, Jerimoth,
Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah,
Giddalti, Romamti-Ezer,
Joshbekashah, Mallothi,
Hothir, and
Mahazioth.
5 All
these were the
sons of Heman
the king’s seer
in the words
of God, to
lift up the
horn. God gave
to Heman fourteen
sons and three
daughters.
6 All
these were under
the hands of
their father for
song in the
LORD’s house, with
cymbals, stringed instruments,
and harps, for
the service of
God’s house: Asaph,
Jeduthun, and
Heman being under
the order of
the king.
7 The
number of them,
with their brothers
who were
instructed in
singing to the
LORD, even all
who were skillful,
was two hundred
eighty-eight.
8 They cast
lots for their
offices, all alike,
the small as
well as the
great, the teacher
as well as
the student.
9 Now the
first lot came

Joseph; the second
to Gedaliah, he
and his brothers
and sons were
