1 David and the army leaders also set apart for service some of the sons of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, who were to prophesy with lyres, harps, and cymbals. This is the list of the men who did the work in their service:
2 From the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asharelah, sons of Asaph, under Asaph's direction, who prophesied at the king's direction.
3 From Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the direction of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with the lyre, giving thanks and praising the LORD.
4 From 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 sons of Heman, the king's seer in the words of God, to lift up his horn; and God gave Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.
6 All of them were under their father's direction for singing in the house of the LORD with cymbals, harps, and lyres, for the service of God's house, under the king's direction: Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.
7 Their number, along with their brothers trained in song for the LORD, every one of them an expert, was two hundred and eighty-eight.
