SINGER
The professional singer was important in temple worship. David first organized singers for worship in the tabernacle (1 Chr 9:33; 15:16, 19, 27). Later, they ministered in Solomon’s temple (2 Chr 5:12-13) and for other kings (20:21; 23:13; 35:15). After the exile, the singers were again active (Ezr 2:41, 70; Neh 7:1, 44, 73; 10:28, 39). They sang psalms for temple worship (Pss 68:25; 87:7). Some were appointed “chief singers” (Hb 3:19). The sons of Asaph were prominent among them.
