25 David and his military officers chose some of the descendants of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun to lead worship music at the temple with harps, lyres, and cymbals. Here is a list of the men whom they chose for that work.

2 From Asaph’s family, they chose his sons Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Aserelah. Asaph directed them. King David supervised Asaph as he led worship music.
3 From Jeduthun’s family, they chose six of his sons, including Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah. Jeduthun directed them, and he performed worship music on his harp to thank and praise Yahweh.

4 From Heman’s family, they chose his sons Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shubael, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamti-Ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth. 5 Those were all sons of Heman, who was King David’s prophet. God had promised that he would honor Heman, and he enabled him to have fourteen sons and three daughters.

6 The fathers of all these men directed them as they performed music in Yahweh’s temple. They played cymbals, harps, and lyres as their work in the temple. The king supervised their fathers Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman. 7 Those men and their relatives could play musical instruments skillfully, and they learned the music for the temple songs. There were 288 of those men. 8 David and his officers cast lots to determine what work each group of Levites would do. Men who were more important or who had more experience did not receive favorable treatment compared with men who were less important or who had less experience.
