1David and the captains of the army also set apart for service the sons of Asaph, of Heman, and of Jeduthun. They were to prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals. This is the number of the men who did this work, according to their service:
2Of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asarelah. These sons of Asaph were under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied at the king's command.
3Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun were Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six in all. They were under the direction of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the LORD.
4Of Heman: the sons of Heman were Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamtiezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth.
5All these were the sons of Heman, the king's seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.
6All these were under the direction of their father for the singing in the house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God. They served at the king's command to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.
7So their number, together with their brothers who were trained in the songs of the LORD, all of them skilful, was two hundred and eighty-eight.
