1 And David and the captains of the army divided themselves into the service of the sons of Asaph, Heman, and Jadiphun, that they should give notice on the citations, psalteries, and cymbals; And they were expelled to the work of their ministry:
2 Of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asharel the sons of Asaph, under the direction of Asaph, who played according to the king's instruction.
3 From Idifun, the sons of Idifun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Isaiah, Semei, Hashabiah and Mattathia, six, under the guidance of his father Jeduthun, who played on the zither for the glory and praise of the Lord.
