1 Chronicles 25:3-5
New English Translation
3 From the sons of Jeduthun:[a] Gedaliah, Zeri,[b] Jeshaiah,[c] Hashabiah, and Mattithiah—six in all,[d] under supervision of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied as he played a harp, giving thanks and praise to the Lord.
4 From the sons of Heman:[e] Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamti-Ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth. 5 All these were the sons of Heman, the king’s prophet. God had promised him these sons in order to make him prestigious.[f] God gave Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.
