1 Chronicles
24:27-25:6 – The sons of Merari: of
Jaaziah, Beno, Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri. Of Mahli: Eleazar,who had
no sons. Of Kish, the sons of Kish: Jerahmeel. The sons of Mushi: Mahli,
Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites according to their
fathers' houses. These also, the head of each father's house and his younger
brother alike, cast lots, just as their brothers the sons of Aaron, in the
presence of King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of fathers' houses of the
priests and of the Levites. David and the chiefs of the service also set
apart for the service the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who prophesied with lyres, with harps, and with cymbals. The list of those
who did the work and of their duties was: Of the sons of Asaph:
Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asharelah, sons of Asaph, under the direction of
Asaph, who prophesied under the direction of the king. Of Jeduthun, the sons of
Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the
direction of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with the lyre in
thanksgiving and praise to the Lord. Of Heman, the sons of
Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani,
Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamti-ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, Mahazioth. All these were the sons of
Heman the king's seer, according to the promise
of God to exalt him, for God had given Heman fourteen sons and three daughters. They were all under the
direction of their father in the music in the house of the Lord with cymbals, harps, and lyres for the service of the
house of God. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were under the order of the king.
