The Temple Musicians

and the commanders of the army also set apart for the service some of the sons of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, who were to prophesy accompanied by lyres, harps, and cymbals. This is the list of the men who performed their service:

2 From the sons of Asaph:
Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asarelah. The sons of Asaph were under the supervision of Asaph, who prophesied under the direction of the king. 3 From Jeduthun: Jeduthun’s sons:
Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah—six, under the direction of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied, using the harp in giving thanks and praise to the Lord. 4 From Heman: Heman’ sons:
Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamti-ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth.  5  All these were sons of Heman, the king’s seer. His sons were given to him through the promises of God to exalt him. God gave Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

6 All these men were under the direction of their own fathers for the music of the House of the Lord, with cymbals, harps, and lyres for the service of the house of God. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were under the authority of the king.  7  Together with their kinsmen, who were all trained and skilled in singing and performing the songs of the Lord—they numbered 288.  8  They cast lots for their duties, young and old alike, the teacher along with the student.
