“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: 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.
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. 4 Of
Heman: the sons of Heman; Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and
Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamtiezer,
Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, [and] Mahazioth: 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. 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. 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.”
“8 And they cast lots, ward against [ward], as well the small as the
great, the teacher as the scholar. 9 Now the first lot came forth for
Asaph to Joseph: the second to Gedaliah, who with his brethren and sons
[were] twelve: 10 The third to Zaccur, [he], his sons, and his brethren,
[were] twelve: 11 The fourth to Izri, [he], his sons, and his brethren,
[were] twelve: 12 The fifth to Nethaniah, [he], his sons, and his

his brethren, [were] twelve: 14 The seventh to Jesharelah, [he], his
sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve: 15 The eighth to Jeshaiah, [he],
his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve: 16 The ninth to Mattaniah,
[he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve: 17 The tenth to Shimei,
[he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve: 18 The eleventh to
Azareel, [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve: 19 The twelfth
to Hashabiah, [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve: 20 The
thirteenth to Shubael, [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve:
21 The fourteenth to Mattithiah, [he], his sons, and his brethren,
[were] twelve: 22 The fifteenth to Jeremoth, [he], his sons, and his
brethren, [were] twelve: 23 The sixteenth to Hananiah, [he], his sons,
and his brethren, [were] twelve: 24 The seventeenth to Joshbekashah,
[he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve: 25 The eighteenth to
Hanani, [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve: 26 The
nineteenth to Mallothi, [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve:
27 The twentieth to Eliathah, [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were]
twelve: 28 The one and twentieth to Hothir, [he], his sons, and his
brethren, [were] twelve: 29 The two and twentieth to Giddalti, [he], his
sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve: 30 The three and twentieth to
Mahazioth, [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve: 31 The four
and twentieth to Romamtiezer, [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were]
twelve.” (1 Chronicles 25:1-31 AV)
