⁶ All these ⌞Levites⌟ sang at the Lord’s temple under the direction of their fathers Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman. They played cymbals, lyres, and harps for worship in God’s temple under the direction of the king. ⁷ They, along with their relatives, were trained, skilled musicians for the Lord. There were 288 of them.
