Organización de los cantores
25 David y los responsables del culto separaron para el servicio del canto a los descendientes de Asaf, Hemán y Jedutún para que cantasen como profetas al son de cítaras, salterios y platillos. He aquí la lista de los hombres adscritos a este servicio:
2 De la familia de Asaf: Zacur, José, Natanael y Asarelá, hijos de Asaf, dirigidos por su padre, profeta cantor a las órdenes de David. 3 De la familia de Jedutún: Guedalías, Serí, Isaías, Simeí, Jasabías y Matatías; los seis dirigidos por su padre Jedutún, que profetizaba al son de la cítara para dar gracias y alabar al Señor. 4 De la familia de Hemán, Buquías, Matanías, Uziel, Sebuel, Jerimot, Jananías, Jananí, Eliatá, Guidaltí, Romanti Ézer, Josbecasá, Malotí, Hotir y Majaziot; 5 todos ellos eran hijos de Hemán, el vidente del rey, que le transmitía los oráculos divinos para acrecentar su poder, pues Dios había dado a Hemán catorce hijos y tres hijas. 6 Todos ellos, bajo la dirección de su padre, cantaban en el Templo del Señor con platillos, salterios y cítaras al servicio del Templo de Dios. Asaf, Jedutún y Hemán estaban a las órdenes del rey. 7 Su número, incluidos sus hermanos instruidos en el canto al Señor, todos ellos expertos, era de doscientos ochenta y ocho.
8 Repartieron a suertes los turnos de servicio, sin distinguir pequeños y grandes, maestros y discípulos. 9 El primer turno correspondió a José, de la familia de Asaf; el segundo a Guedalías, que sumaba doce con hijos y parientes; 10 el tercero a Zacur, 11 el cuarto a Jisrí, 12 el quinto a Natanael, 13 el sexto a Buquías, 14 el séptimo a Jesarelá, 15 el octavo a Isaías, 16 el noveno a Matanías, 17 el décimo a Simeí, 18 el undécimo a Azarel, 19 el duodécimo a Jasabías, 20 el décimo tercero a Subael, 21 el décimo cuarto a Matitías, 22 el décimo quinto a Jeremot, 23 el décimo sexto a Jananías, 24 el décimo séptimo a Josbecasá, 25 el décimo octavo a Jananí, 26 el décimo noveno a Malotí, 27 el vigésimo a Eliatá, 28 el vigésimo primero a Hotir, 29 el vigésimo segundo a Guidaltí, 30 el vigésimo tercero a Majaziot 31 y el vigésimo cuarto a Romanti Ézer.

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.
