[1]So David and the captains of the army separated for the ministry the sons of Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun, who should sing prophesies with harps, with viols, and with cymbals, and their number was even of the men for the office of their ministry, to wit,
[2]Of the sons of Asaph, Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asarelah the sons of Asaph were under the hand of Asaph, which sang prophesies by the commission of the king.
[3]Of Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun, Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father: Jeduthun sang prophecies with an harp, for to give thanks and to praise the Lord.
[4]Of Heman, the sons of Heman, Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and 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: and God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.
[6]All these were under the hand of their father, singing in the house of the Lord with cymbals, viols and harps, for the service of the house of God, and Asaph, and Jeduthun, and Heman were at the king's commandment.
[7]So was their number with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the Lord, even of all that were cunning, two hundred fourscore and eight.
