1 Chronicles 25
New International Version
The Musicians
25 David, together with the commanders of the army, set apart some of the sons of Asaph,(A) Heman(B) and Jeduthun(C) for the ministry of prophesying,(D) accompanied by harps, lyres and cymbals.(E) Here is the list of the men(F) who performed this service:(G)
2 From the sons of Asaph:
Zakkur, Joseph, Nethaniah and Asarelah. The sons of Asaph were under the supervision of Asaph, who prophesied under the king’s supervision.
3 As for Jeduthun, from his sons:(H)
Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei,[a] Hashabiah and Mattithiah, six in all, under the supervision of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied, using the harp(I) in thanking and praising the Lord.
4 As for Heman, from his sons:
Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shubael and Jerimoth; Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti and Romamti-Ezer; Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir and Mahazioth. 5 (All these were sons of Heman the king’s seer. They were given him through the promises of God to exalt him. God gave Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.)
6 All these men were under the supervision of their father(J) for the music of the temple of the Lord, with cymbals, lyres and harps, for the ministry at the house of God.
Asaph, Jeduthun and Heman(K) were under the supervision of the king.(L) 7 Along with their relatives—all of them trained and skilled in music for the Lord—they numbered 288. 8 Young and old alike, teacher as well as student, cast lots(M) for their duties.

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.
