Of the sons of Asaph:
Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and [b]Asharelah; the sons of Asaph were under the [c]direction of Asaph, who prophesied under the [d]direction of the king.
(D)Of Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun:

Ang mga Mang-aawit sa Templo

25 Ibinukod din ni David at ng mga punong-kawal ng hukbo para sa paglilingkod ang ilan sa mga anak nina Asaf, Heman, at Jedutun na magpapahayag ng propesiya sa saliw ng mga alpa, mga lira, at ng mga pompiyang. Ang talaan ng gumawa ng gawain at ang kanilang mga tungkulin ay sina:

Sa mga anak ni Asaf: sina Zacur, Jose, Netanias, at Asarela, na mga anak ni Asaf; sa ilalim ng pamumuno ni Asaf na nagpahayag ng propesiya ayon sa utos ng hari.

Kay Jedutun, ang mga anak ni Jedutun: sina Gedalias, Zeri, Jeshaias, Hashabias, at Matithias, anim;[a] sa ilalim ng pamumuno ng kanilang amang si Jedutun na nagpahayag ng propesiya sa saliw ng lira, na may pagpapasalamat at pagpupuri sa Panginoon.

Kay Heman, ang mga anak ni Heman: sina Bukias, Matanias, Uziel, Sebuel, Jerimot, Hananias, Hanani, Eliata, Gidalti, Romamtiezer, Josbecasa, Maloti, Hotir, at Mahaziot.

Lahat ng mga ito'y mga anak ni Heman na propeta[b] ng hari, ayon sa pangako ng Diyos na itaas siya. Sapagkat binigyan ng Diyos si Heman ng labing-apat na anak na lalaki at tatlong anak na babae.

Silang lahat ay nasa ilalim ng pamumuno ng kanilang ama sa pag-awit sa bahay ng Panginoon, na may mga pompiyang, mga lira, at mga alpa sa paglilingkod sa bahay ng Diyos; sina Asaf, Jedutun, at Heman ay nasa ilalim ng pamumuno ng hari.

Ang bilang nila kasama ang kanilang mga kapatid na mga sinanay sa pag-awit sa Panginoon, lahat ng bihasa ay dalawandaan at walumpu't walo.

Sila'y nagpalabunutan sa kanilang mga katungkulan, hamak at dakila, maging ang guro at mag-aaral.
