David and the leaders of the tabernacle work selected for the work some of the sons of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun. These men prophesied with harps, stringed instruments, and cymbals. Here is a list of the men who did this work:

From the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asharelah, the sons of Asaph, under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied under the king’s supervision.

From the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six in all, under the direction of their father Jeduthun, who played the harp for giving thanks and praising Yahweh.

All these were the sons of Heman the king’s prophet. God gave Heman fourteen sons and three daughters in order to honor him.

All these were under the direction of their fathers. They were musicians in Yahweh’s house, with cymbals and stringed instruments as they served in God’s house. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were under the king’s supervision.

They and their brothers who were skilled and trained to make music to Yahweh numbered 288.
