MOREOVER David and 1the 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: 2and the number of the workmen according to their service was:
Of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and 3Asarelah, the sons of Asaph 4under the hands of Asaph, which 5prophesied 6according to the order of the king.
Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and 7Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, 8six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the LORD.

All these were the sons of Heman the king’s 11seer 12in the words of God, 13to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman 14fourteen sons and three daughters.
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, 15according to the king's order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.
