1 Chronicles 25:6-8

International Children’s Bible

⁶ Heman directed all his sons in making music for the Temple of the Lord. They used cymbals, lyres and harps. That was their way of serving in the Temple of God. And King David was in charge of Asaph, Jeduthun and Heman. ⁷ These men and their relatives from the Levites were trained in music. They were skilled in making music for the Lord. There were 288 of them. ⁸ Everyone threw lots to choose the time his family was to serve at the Temple. The young and the old had to throw lots. The teacher and the student had to throw lots.
