1 Chronicles 25
1 And king David and the captains of
the host appointed to their services the sons of Asaph, and of Æman, and of
Idithun, prophesiers with harps, and lutes, and cymbals: and their number was
according to their polls serving in their ministrations.
2 The sons of Asaph; Sacchur, Joseph,
and Nathanias, and Erael: the sons of Asaph were next
the king.
3 To Idithun
were reckoned the sons of Idithun, Godolias, and
Suri, and Iseas, and Asabias, and Matthathias, six after their father Idithun,
sounding loudly on the harp thanksgiving and praise to the Lord.
4 To Æman
were reckoned the sons of Æman, Bukias, and
Matthanias, and Oziel, and Subael, and Jerimoth, and Ananias, and Anan, and
Heliatha, and Godollathi, and Rometthiezer, and Jesbasaca, and Mallithi, and
Otheri, and Meazoth. 5 All these
were the sons of Æman the king's chief player in the
praises of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Æman fourteen sons, and
three daughters. 6 All these sang
hymns with their father in the house of God, with cymbals, and lutes, and
harps, for the service of the house of God, near the king, and Asaph, and
Idithun, and Æman.
7 And the number of them after their
brethren, those instructed to sing to God, every one that understood
singing was two hundred and eighty-eight.
8 And they also cast lots for the
daily courses, for the great and the small of them,
of the perfect ones and the learners.
9 And the first lot of his sons and of
his brethren came forth to Asaph the son of Joseph,
namely, Godolias: the second Heneia, his sons and his
