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.

1 Chronicles 25
King James Version
25 Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service 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 the workmen according to their service was:
2 Of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, which prophesied according to 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, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the Lord.
4 Of Heman: the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamtiezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth:
5 All these were the sons of Heman the king's seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And 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 the Lord, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, according to the king's order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.
7 So the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the Lord, even all that were cunning, was two hundred fourscore and eight.
8 And they cast lots, ward against ward, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.
