1 Chronicles 25

1Further, David and the chiefs of the servants of the holy place made selection of certain of the sons of Asaph and of Heman and of Jeduthun for the work of prophets, to make melody with corded instruments and brass; and the number of the men for the work they had to do was:

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 the sons of Asaph: Zaccur and Joseph and Nethaniah and Asharelah, sons of Asaph; under the direction of Asaph, acting as a prophet under the orders of the king;

2Of sons of Asaph: Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asharelah, sons of Asaph, <FI>are<Fi> by the side of Asaph, who is prophesying by the side of the king.

3Of Jeduthun: the six sons of Jeduthun, Gedaliah and Zeri and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah and Mattithiah; under the direction of their father Jeduthun who, acting as a prophet, with corded instruments gave praise and glory to the Lord.

3Of Jeduthun: sons of Jeduthun, Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, Shisshah, <FI>are<Fi> by the side of their father Jeduthun; with a harp he is prophesying, for giving of thanks and of praise to Jehovah.

5All these were sons of Heman, the king's seer in the words of God. And to make great his power God gave Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

5all these <FI>are<Fi> 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, under the direction of their father, made music in the house of the Lord, with brass and corded instruments, for the worship of the house of God; Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman being under the orders of the king.

6All these <FI>are<Fi> 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 <FI>are<Fi> Asaph, and Jeduthun, and Heman.

7And the number of them, with their brothers who were trained and expert in making melody to the Lord, was two hundred and eighty-eight.

7And their number, with their brethren--taught in the song of Jehovah, all who are intelligent--is two hundred, eighty and eight.

8And selection was made of them for their special work, all having equal chances, small as well as great, the teacher as the learner.

8And they cause to fall lots--charge over-against <FI>charge<Fi> , as well the small as the great, the intelligent with the learner.
