1 Chronicles 25:1–18

¹And David and the heads of the host separate for service, of the sons of Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun, who are prophesying with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals, and the number of the workmen is according to their service. ²Of sons of Asaph: Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asharelah, sons of Asaph, are by the side of Asaph, who is prophesying by the side of the king. ³Of Jeduthun: sons of Jeduthun, Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, Shisshah, are by the side of their father Jeduthun; with a harp he is prophesying, for giving of thanks and of praise to Jehovah. ⁴Of Heman: sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamti-Ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, Mahazioth; ⁵all these are sons of Heman—seer of the king in the things of God—to lift up a horn; and God giveth to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters. ⁶All these are by the side of their father in the song of the house of Jehovah, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God; by the side of the king are Asaph, and Jeduthun, and Heman. ⁷And their number, with their brethren—taught in the song of Jehovah, all who are intelligent—is two hundred, eighty and eight.

⁸And they cause to fall lots—charge over-against charge, as well the small as the great, the intelligent with the learner. ⁹And the first lot goeth out for Asaph to Joseph; to Gedaliah the second; he, and his brethren and his sons, twelve; ¹⁰the third to Zaccur, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ¹¹the fourth to Izri, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ¹²the fifth to Nethaniah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ¹³the sixth to Bukkiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ¹⁴the seventh to Jesharelah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ¹⁵the eighth to Jeshaiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ¹⁶the ninth to Mattaniah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ¹⁷the tenth to Shimei, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ¹⁸eleventh to Azareel, his sons and his brethren, twelve;
