1 ¶ Moreover David with the help of the commanders of the army appointed sons of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their service was:

2 Of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the direction of Asaph, who served as prophet under the king’s direction.

3 Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the direction of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, 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 Romamtiezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth:

5 All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, to exalt him. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

6 All these were under the direction of their father for song in the house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, according to the king’s order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.

7 So the number of them, with their brethren who were instructed in the songs of the LORD, even all who were skilled, was two hundred and eighty-eight.

8 ¶ And they cast lots for their duties, small and great, teacher and pupil alike.
