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 the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethani´ah, and Asare´lah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, which prophesied according to the order of the king.
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.
Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Ama´sai, and Joel the son of Azari´ah, of the sons of the Ko´hathites: and of the sons of Mera´ri; Kish the son of Abdi, and Azari´ah the son of Jehal´elel: and of the Ger´shonites; Jo´ah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Jo´ah:
And Moses called Mish´a-el and Elza´phan, the sons of Uz´zi-el the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.
