1 King David and the leaders of the Levites chose the following Levite clans to lead the worship services: Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun. They were to proclaim God's messages, accompanied by the music of harps and cymbals. This is the list of persons chosen t 2 The four sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asharelah. They were under the direction of Asaph, who proclaimed God's messages whenever the king commanded. 3 The six sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah. Under the direction of their father they proclaimed God's message, accompanied by the music of harps, and sang praise and thanks to the LORD. 4 The fourteen sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamti Ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth. 5 God gave to Heman, the king's prophet, these fourteen sons and also three daughters, as he had promised, in order to give power to Heman. 6 All of his sons played cymbals and harps under their father's direction, to accompany the Temple worship. And Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were under orders from the king. 7 All these twenty-four men were experts; and their fellow Levites were trained musicians. There were 288 men in all. 8 To determine the assignment of duties they all drew lots, whether they were young or old, experts or beginners. 9 These 288 men were divided according to families into twenty-four groups of twelve, with a leader in charge of each group. This is the order in which they were on duty: 1) Joseph of the family of Asaph; 2) Gedaliah; 3) Zaccur; 4) Zeri; 5) Nethaniah; 6) B 10 (SEE 25:9) 11 (SEE 25:9) 12 (SEE 25:9) 13 (SEE 25:9) 14 (SEE 25:9) 15 (SEE 25:9) 16 (SEE 25:9) 17 (SEE 25:9) 18 (SEE 25:9) 19 (SEE 25:9) 20 (SEE 25:9) 21 (SEE 25:9) 22 (SEE 25:9) 23 (SEE 25:9) 24 (SEE 25:9) 25 (SEE 25:9) 26 (SEE 25:9) 27 (SEE 25:9) 28 (SEE 25:9) 29 (SEE 25:9) 30 (SEE 25:9) 31 (SEE 25:9)
