17 So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brothers Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari, their brothers, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;

41 With them were Heman and Jeduthun and the rest of those chosen and expressly named to give thanks to the Lord, for his steadfast love endures forever.

David Organizes the Musicians

1 David and the chiefs of the service also set apart for the service the sons of ^qAsaph, and of ^rHeman, and of ^sJeduthun, who ^tprophesied with ^ulyres, with harps, and with cymbals. The list of those who did the work and of their duties was:

12 and all the Levitical ^msingers, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, their sons and kinsmen, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals, harps, and lyres, stood east of the altar with 120 priests who were trumpeters;

14 and of the sons of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.

15 The singers, the ^ysons of Asaph, were in their place according to the command of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer; and the ^zgatekeepers were at each gate. They did not need to depart from their service, for their brothers the Levites prepared for them.
