# 1 Chronicles 25 (New King James Version)
The Musicians

##### Chapter 25
###### 1 Moreover David and the captains of the army separated for the service _some_ of the sons of Asaph, of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who _should_ prophesy with harps, stringed instruments, and cymbals. And the number of the skilled men performing their service was:  
###### 2 Of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asharelah; the sons of Asaph _were_ under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied according to the order of the king.  
###### 3 Of Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, _Shimei_, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the direction 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, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamti-Ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, _and_ Mahazioth.  
###### 5 All these _were_ the sons of Heman the king's seer in the words of God, to exalt his horn. For God gave Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

###### 6 All these _were_ under the direction of their father for the music _in_ the house of the Lord, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and harps, for the service of the house of God. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman _were_ under the authority of the king.  
###### 7 So the number of them, with their brethren who were instructed in the songs of the Lord, all who were skillful, _was_ two hundred and eighty-eight.

###### 8 And they cast lots for their duty, the small as well as the great, the teacher with the student.
