So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechi´ah; and of the sons of Mera´ri their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushai´ah;
Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jedu´thun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their service was:
Of Jedu´thun: the sons of Jedu´thun; Gedali´ah, and Zeri, and Jeshai´ah, Hashabi´ah, and Mattithi´ah, six, under the hands of their father Jedu´thun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the Lord.
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, according to the king's order to Asaph, Jedu´thun, and Heman.
