[1] Moreover David and the captains of the host set apart for the service
certain of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should
prophesy with harps, with psalteries, 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 Yahweh. [4] Of
Heman; the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and
Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamti-ezer,
Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, Mahazioth. [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 Yahweh, with cymbals, psalteries,
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 Yahweh, even all who were
skillful, was two hundred eighty-eight. [8] They cast lots for their
offices, all alike, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the
scholar. [9] Now the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph: the second
to Gedaliah; he and his brothers and sons were twelve: [10] the third to
Zaccur, his sons and his brothers, twelve: [11] the fourth to Izri, his
sons and his brothers, twelve: [12] the fifth to Nethaniah, his sons and
his brothers, twelve: [13] the sixth to Bukkiah, his sons and his brothers,
twelve: [14] the seventh to Jesharelah, his sons and his brothers, twelve:
[15] the eighth to Jeshaiah, his sons and his brothers, twelve: [16] the
ninth to Mattaniah, his sons and his brothers, twelve: [17] the tenth to
Shimei, his sons and his brothers, twelve: [18] the eleventh to Azarel, his
sons and his brothers, twelve: [19] the twelfth to Hashabiah, his sons and
his brothers, twelve: [20] for the thirteenth, Shubael, his sons and his
brothers, twelve: [21] for the fourteenth, Mattithiah, his sons and his
brothers, twelve: [22] for the fifteenth to Jeremoth, his sons and his
brothers, twelve: [23] for the sixteenth to Hananiah, his sons and his
brothers, twelve: [24] for the seventeenth to Joshbekashah, his sons and
his brothers, twelve: [25] for the eighteenth to Hanani, his sons and his
brothers, twelve: [26] for the nineteenth to Mallothi, his sons and his
brothers, twelve: [27] for the twentieth to Eliathah, his sons and his
brothers, twelve: [28] for the one and twentieth to Hothir, his sons and
his brothers, twelve: [29] for the two and twentieth to Giddalti, his sons
and his brothers, twelve: [30] for the three and twentieth to Mahazioth,
his sons and his brothers, twelve: [31] for the four and twentieth to
Romamtiezer, his sons and his brothers, twelve.
