Chapter 25
The Musicians. 1 David, together with the captains of the army, set aside some of the sons of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun who were to prophesy[a] with harps, lyres, and cymbals. This is the list of those engaged in their ministry.
2 From the sons of Asaph there were Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asharelah. The sons of Asaph were under the direction of Asaph who prophesied at the command of the king.
3 From Jeduthun there were his sons Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah. There were six of them in all. They were under the direction of their father Jeduthun who prophesied using the harp to give thanks and praise to the Lord.
