Moreover David and the captains of the host separated⁵⁵ to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy^{12 5030} with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen ⁴³⁹⁹ according to their service was:

Of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, which prophesied⁸ according to the order of the king.

Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied⁸ with a harp, to give thanks⁵³ and to praise¹⁵ the LORD.

Of Heman: the sons of Heman; Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamtiezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, [and] Mahazioth:

All these [were] the sons of Heman the king's seer in the words of God, to lift up⁵³ the horn. And God gave⁴ to Heman fourteen ⁶²⁴⁰ sons and three daughters.

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.
