David and the leaders of the army separated Asaph’s sons for special service. Asaph’s sons were Heman and Jeduthun. Their special service was to prophesy {\cf2\super [270]} God’s message by using harps, {\cf2\super [271]} lyres, {\cf2\super [272]} and cymbals. {\cf2\super [273]} Here is a list of the men that served this way:
The Levite singers from Asaph’s family got in the places that King David had chosen for them to stand. They were: Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s prophet. The gatekeepers at each gate did not have to leave their places because their brother Levites made everything ready for them for the Passover.
The Levite singers stood at the east side of the altar. {\cf2\super [86]} All of the singing groups of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun were there. And their sons and relatives were there also. Those Levite singers were dressed in white linen. {\cf2\super [87]} They had cymbals, {\cf2\super [88]} lyres, {\cf2\super [89]} and harps. There were 120 priests there with those Levite singers. Those 120 priests blew trumpets.
The builders finished laying the foundation for the Lord’s temple. When the foundation was finished, the priests put on their priests’ clothing. Then they got their trumpets. And the sons of Asaph got their cymbals. They all took their places to praise the Lord. This was done the way David, king of Israel, ordered in the past.
Mattaniah (Mattaniah was the son of Mica, who was the son of Zabdi, who was the son of Asaph, who was the choir director. Asaph led the people in singing songs of praise and prayer), Bakbukiah (Bakbukiah was the second in charge over his brothers), and Abda son of Shammua, (Shammua was the son of Galal, who was the son of Jeduthun).
