1 Chronicles: Chapter 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:
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.
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 The
Lord.
4. Of Heman; the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah,
Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and

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.
6. All these were under the hands of their father
for song in the house of The Lord, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and
harps, for the service of the house of God; Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman being
under the order of the king.
7. The number of them, with their brothers who were
instructed in singing to The Lord, even all who were skillful, was two hundred

well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.
