25 Further, David and the chiefs of the groups for the service separated some of the sons of Aʹsaph, Heʹman, and Ye·duʹthun to serve by prophesying with the harps, the stringed instruments, and the cymbals. The list of the official men for this service was, 2 of the sons of Aʹsaph: Zacʹcur, Joseph, Neth·a·nyʹah, and Ash·a·reʹlah, the sons of Aʹsaph under the direction of Aʹsaph, who prophesied under the direction of the king. 3 Of Ye·duʹthun, the sons of Ye·duʹthun: Ged·a·lyʹah, Zeʹri, Ye·shaʹyah, Shimʹe·i, Hash·a·byʹah, and Mat·ti·thyʹah, six, under the direction of their father Ye·duʹthun, who prophesied with the harp, thanking and praising Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}. 4 Of Heʹman, the sons of Heʹman: Buk·kyʹah, Mat·ta·nyʹah, Uzʹzi·Al, Shebʹu·Al, Yerʹi·moth, Han·a·nyʹah, Ha·naʹni, A·liʹa·thah, Gid·dalʹti, Ro·mamʹti-eʹzer, Josh·be·kashʹah, Mal·loʹthi, Hoʹthir, and Ma·haʹzi·oth. 5 All of these were sons of Heʹman, a visionary of the king in matters pertaining to the true Al {pre. Ahl} to his glory; thus the true Al {pre. Ahl} gave Heʹman 14 sons and 3 daughters. 6 All of these were under the direction of their father for singing at the house of Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and harps for the service of the house of the true Al {pre. Ahl}.
Under the king’s direction were Aʹsaph, Ye·duʹthun, and Heʹman.
7 The number of them and their brothers who were trained in song to Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}, all experts, was 288. 8 So they cast lots for their duties, the small and the great alike, the expert along with the learner.
