1 Chronicles Chapter 25 Back Next{25:1} Moreover,
David and the
captains of the
army set apart for the service certain of the sons of
Asaph, and of
Heman, and of
Jeduthun, who should prophesy with
harps, with stringed instruments, and with
cymbals: and the number of those who did the work according to their service was:
{25:2} of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, and
Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asharelah, the sons of Asaph, under the hand of Asaph, who prophesied after the order of the king.
{25:3} Of Jeduthun; the sons of Jeduthun:
Gedaliah, and Zeri, and
Jeshaiah,
Hashabiah, and
Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their
father Jeduthun with the harp, who prophesied in giving thanks and praising Yahweh.
{25:4} Of Heman; the sons of Heman: Bukkiah,
Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and
Jerimoth,
Hananiah,
Hanani,
Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamti-Ezer, Joshbekashah,
Mallothi, Hothir,
Mahazioth.
{25:5} 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.
{25:6} All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of Yahweh, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and harps, for the service of God's house; Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman being under the order of the king.
{25:7} The number of them, with their
brothers who were instructed in singing to Yahweh, even all who were skillful, was two hundred eighty-eight.
{25:8} They cast lots for their offices, all alike, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.
{25:9} Now the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph: the second to Gedaliah; he and his brothers and sons were twelve:
{25:10} the third to Zaccur, his sons and his brothers, twelve:
