1 Chronicles 25

The temple musicians of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun

וַיַּבְדֵּל דָּוִיד וְשָׂרֵי הַצָּבָא לַֽעֲבֹדָה לִבְנֵי אָסָף וְהֵימָן וִֽידוּתוּן ‫(הנביאים)‬ הַֽנִּבְּאִים בְּכִנֹּרוֹת בִּנְבָלִים וּבִמְצִלְתָּיִם וַֽיְהִי מִסְפָּרָם אַנְשֵׁי מְלָאכָה לַעֲבֹֽדָתָֽם׃
1
Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their service was:
לִבְנֵי אָסָף זַכּוּר וְיוֹסֵף וּנְתַנְיָה וַֽאֲשַׂרְאֵלָה בְּנֵי אָסָף עַל יַד-אָסָף הַנִּבָּא עַל-יְדֵי הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
2
Of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, which prophesied according to the order of the king.
לִֽידוּתוּן בְּנֵי יְדוּתוּן גְּדַלְיָהוּ וּצְרִי וִֽישַׁעְיָהוּ חֲשַׁבְיָהוּ וּמַתִּתְיָהוּ שִׁשָּׁה עַל יְדֵי אֲבִיהֶם יְדוּתוּן בַּכִּנּוֹר הַנִּבָּא עַל-הֹדוֹת וְהַלֵּל לַֽיהוָֽה׃
3
Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the LORD.
לְהֵימָן בְּנֵי הֵימָן בֻּקִּיָּהוּ מַתַּנְיָהוּ עֻזִּיאֵל שְׁבוּאֵל וִֽירִימוֹת חֲנַנְיָה חֲנָנִי אֱלִיאָתָה גִדַּלְתִּי וְרֹמַמְתִּי עֶזֶר יָשְׁבְּקָשָׁה מַלּוֹתִי הוֹתִיר מַחֲזִיאֹֽת׃
4
Of Heman: the sons of Heman; Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamti-ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth:
כָּל-אֵלֶּה בָנִים לְהֵימָן חֹזֵה הַמֶּלֶךְ בְּדִבְרֵי הָֽאֱלֹהִים לְהָרִים קָרֶן וַיִּתֵּן הָֽאֱלֹהִים לְהֵימָן בָּנִים אַרְבָּעָה עָשָׂר וּבָנוֹת שָׁלֽוֹשׁ׃
5
All these were the sons of Heman the king's seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.
כָּל-אֵלֶּה עַל-יְדֵי אֲבִיהֶם בַּשִּׁיר בֵּית יְהוָה בִּמְצִלְתַּיִם נְבָלִים וְכִנֹּרוֹת לַֽעֲבֹדַת בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִים עַל יְדֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ אָסָף וִֽידוּתוּן וְהֵימָֽן׃
6
All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, according to the king's order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.
וַיְהִי מִסְפָּרָם עִם-אֲחֵיהֶם מְלֻמְּדֵי-שִׁיר לַֽיהוָה כָּל-הַמֵּבִין מָאתַיִם שְׁמוֹנִים וּשְׁמוֹנָֽה׃
7
So the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the LORD, even all that were cunning, was two hundred fourscore and eight.
וַיַּפִּילוּ גּֽוֹרָלוֹת מִשְׁמֶרֶת לְעֻמַּת כַּקָּטֹן כַּגָּדוֹל מֵבִין עִם-תַּלְמִֽיד׃
8
And they cast lots, ward against ward, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.

The twenty-four lots for the singers
