1 Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jedu´thun, 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, and Joseph, and Nethani´ah, and Asare´lah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, which prophesied according to the order of the king.
3 Of Jedu´thun: the sons of Jedu´thun; Gedali´ah, and Zeri, and Jeshai´ah, Hashabi´ah, and Mattithi´ah, six, under the hands of their father Jedu´thun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the Lord.
4 Of Heman: the sons of Heman; Bukki´ah, Mattani´ah, Uz´zi-el, She´bu-el, and Jer´imoth, Hanani´ah, Hana´ni, Eli´athah, Giddal´ti, and Romam´ti–e´zer, Joshbeka´shah, Mallo´thi, Hothir, and Maha´zi-oth:
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 hands 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, Jedu´thun, and Heman.
7 So the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the Lord, even all that were cunning, was two hundred fourscore and eight.
