De taak van de muzikanten

25 David en de legerofficieren benoemden daarna talentvolle mannen, die zorgden voor de muzikale begeleiding van de koorzang met citers, harpen en cymbalen. Deze mannen kwamen uit de families van Asaf, Heman en Jeduthun. Hier volgt een lijst met hun namen en taken. 2 Onder Asaf, die op aanwijzing van de koning de dienst verrichtte, stonden zijn zonen Zakkur, Jozef, Nethanja en Asarela. 3 Onder Jeduthun, die leiding gaf bij het danken en prijzen van de Here en daarbij de citer bespeelde, stonden zijn zes zonen Gedalja, Zeri, Jesaja, Simi, Hasabja en Mattithja. 4,5 Onder Heman, de geestelijke verzorger van de koning, stonden zijn zonen Bukkia, Mattanja, Uzziël, Sebuël, Jerimoth, Hananja, Hanani, Eliatha, Giddalti, Romamti-Ezer, Josbekasa, Mallothi, Hothir en Mahazioth. God had hem gezegend met veertien zonen en drie dochters, waardoor hij overal aanzien genoot. 6,7 Hun muzikale taak omvatte het bespelen van cymbalen, harpen en citers, zij stonden allemaal onder leiding van hun vader wanneer zij deze taak in de tempel uitvoerden. Asaf, Jeduthun en Heman voerden dit alles uit volgens de aanwijzingen van de koning. Zij en hun gezinnen waren geoefend in het zingen van lofliederen voor de Here, ieder van hen, 288 in totaal, was een kunstenaar.

8 De zangers kregen hun eigen taak door het lot toegewezen, waarbij niet werd gelet op rang of stand. 9-31 Het eerste lot viel op Jozef van de familie van Asaf, het tweede op Gedalja, samen met elf van zijn zonen en broers, het derde op Zakkur en elf van zijn zonen en broers, het vierde op Jizri en elf van zijn zonen en broers, het vijfde op Nethanja en elf van zijn zonen en broers, zesde was Bukkia met elf van zijn zonen en broers, zevende was Jesarela en elf van zijn zonen en broers, achtste was Jesaja met elf van zijn zonen en broers, negende was Mattanja met elf van zijn zonen en broers, tiende was Simi met elf van zijn zonen en broers, elfde was Azareël met elf van zijn zonen en broers, twaalfde was Hasabja met elf van zijn zonen en broers, dertiende was Subaël met elf van zijn zonen en broers, veertiende was Mattithja met elf van zijn zonen en broers, vijftiende was Jeremoth met elf van zijn zonen en broers, zestiende was Hananja met elf van zijn zonen en broers, zeventiende was Josbekasa met elf van zijn zonen en broers, achttiende was Hanani met elf van zijn zonen en broers, negentiende was Mallothi met elf van zijn zonen en broers, twintigste was Eliatha met elf van zijn zonen en broers, eenentwintigste was Hothir met elf van zijn zonen en broers, tweeëntwintigste was Giddalti met elf van zijn zonen en broers, drieëntwintigste was Mahazioth met elf van zijn zonen en broers, vierentwintigste was Romamti-Ezer met elf van zijn zonen en broers.

The Musicians

25 Moreover David and the captains of the army separated for the service some of the sons of (A)Asaph, of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, stringed instruments, and cymbals. And the number of the skilled men performing their service was: 2 Of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and [a]Asharelah; the sons of Asaph were [b]under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied according to the order of the king. 3 Of (B)Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, [c]Zeri, Jeshaiah, [d]Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, [e]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, [f]Uzziel, [g]Shebuel, [h]Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamti-Ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth. 5 All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, to [i]exalt his (C)horn. For God gave Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

6 All these were under the direction of their father for the music in the house of the Lord, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and (D)harps, for the service of the house of God. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were (E)under the authority of the king. 7 So the (F)number of them, with their brethren who were instructed in the songs of the Lord, all who were skillful, was two hundred and eighty-eight.

8 And they cast lots for their duty, the small as well as the great, (G)the teacher with the student.

9 Now the first lot for Asaph came out for Joseph; the second for Gedaliah, him with his brethren and sons, twelve; 10 the third for Zaccur, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 11 the fourth for [j]Jizri, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 12 the fifth for Nethaniah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 13 the sixth for Bukkiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 14 the seventh for [k]Jesharelah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 15 the eighth for Jeshaiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 16 the ninth for Mattaniah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 17 the tenth for Shimei, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 18 the eleventh for [l]Azarel, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 19 the twelfth for Hashabiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 20 the thirteenth for [m]Shubael, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 21 the fourteenth for Mattithiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 22 the fifteenth for [n]Jeremoth, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 23 the sixteenth for Hananiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 24 the seventeenth for Joshbekashah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 25 the eighteenth for Hanani, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 26 the nineteenth for Mallothi, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 27 the twentieth for Eliathah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 28 the twenty-first for Hothir, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 29 the twenty-second for Giddalti, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 30 the twenty-third for Mahazioth, his sons and his brethren, twelve; 31 the twenty-fourth for Romamti-Ezer, his sons and his brethren, twelve.
