17 So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechi´ah; and of the sons of Mera´ri their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushai´ah;
18 and with them their brethren of the second degree, Zechari´ah, Ben, and Ja-a´zi-el, and Shemir´amoth, and Jehi´el, and Unni, Eli´ab, and Benai´ah, and Ma-asei´ah, and Mattithi´ah, and Eliph´eleh, and Miknei´ah, and O´bed–e´dom, and Je-i´el, the porters.
19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed to sound with cymbals of brass;
20 and Zechari´ah, and Az´i-el, and Shemir´amoth, and Jehi´el, and Unni, and Eli´ab, and Ma-asei´ah, and Benai´ah, with psalteries on Al´amoth;
21 and Mattithi´ah, and Eliph´eleh and Miknei´ah, and O´bed–e´dom, and Je-i´el, and Azazi´ah, with harps on the Shem´inith to excel.
22 And Chenani´ah, chief of the Levites, was for song: he instructed about the song, because he was skilful.
23 And Berechi´ah and Elka´nah were doorkeepers for the ark.
