These are the singers, heads of fathers’ households of the Levites, who lived in the rooms and were free from other service; for they were employed in their work day and night.

Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites after their divisions, every man according to his service, both the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of Yahweh’s camp.

He set the Levites in Yahweh’s house with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, of Gad the king’s seer, and Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was from Yahweh by his prophets.The Levites stood with David’s instruments, and the priests with the trumpets.Hezekiah commanded them to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When the burnt offering began, Yahweh’s song also began, along with the trumpets and David king of Israel’s instruments.All the assembly worshiped, the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded. All this continued until the burnt offering was finished.When they had finished offering, the king and all who were present with him bowed themselves and worshiped.Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praises to Yahweh with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. They sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshiped.

So he left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required;and Obed- Edom with their brothers, sixty- eight; Obed- Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;and Zadok the priest, and his brothers the priests, before Yahweh’s tabernacle in the high place that was at Gibeon,to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in Yahweh’s law, which he commanded to Israel;and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest who were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to Yahweh, because his loving kindness endures forever;and with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate.

When the builders laid the foundation of Yahweh’s temple, they set the priests in their clothing with trumpets, with the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise Yahweh, according to the directions of David king of Israel.They sang to one another in praising and giving thanks to Yahweh,“ For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever toward Israel.” All the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised Yahweh, because the foundation of Yahweh’s house had been laid.

The number of them, with their brothers who were instructed in singing to Yahweh, even all who were skillful, was two hundred eighty- eight.They cast lots for their offices, all alike, the small as well as the great, the teacher as well as the student.Now the first lot came out for Asaph to Joseph; the second to Gedaliah, he and his brothers and sons were twelve;the third to Zaccur, his sons and his brothers, twelve;the fourth to Izri, his sons and his brothers, twelve;the fifth to Nethaniah, his sons and his brothers, twelve;the sixth to Bukkiah, his sons and his brothers, twelve;the seventh to Jesharelah, his sons and his brothers, twelve;the eighth to Jeshaiah, his sons and his brothers, twelve;the ninth to Mattaniah, his sons and his brothers, twelve;the tenth to Shimei, his sons and his brothers, twelve;the eleventh to Azarel, his sons and his brothers, twelve;the twelfth to Hashabiah, his sons and his brothers, twelve;for the thirteenth, Shubael, his sons and his brothers, twelve;for the fourteenth, Mattithiah, his sons and his brothers, twelve;for the fifteenth to Jeremoth, his sons and his brothers, twelve;for the sixteenth to Hananiah, his sons and his brothers, twelve;for the seventeenth to Joshbekashah, his sons and his brothers, twelve;for the eighteenth to Hanani, his sons and his brothers, twelve;for the nineteenth to Mallothi, his sons and his brothers, twelve;for the twentieth to Eliathah, his sons and his brothers, twelve;for the twenty- first to Hothir, his sons and his brothers, twelve;for the twenty- second to Giddalti, his sons and his brothers, twelve;for the twenty- third to Mahazioth, his sons and his brothers, twelve;for the twenty- fourth to Romamti- Ezer, his sons and his brothers, twelve.

The singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer; and the gatekeepers were at every gate. They didn’t need to depart from their service, because their brothers the Levites prepared for them.

They performed the duty of their God, and the duty of the purification, and so did the singers and the gatekeepers, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son.For in the days of David and Asaph of old there was a chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.All Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the gatekeepers, as every day required; and they set apart that which was for the Levites; and the Levites set apart that which was for the sons of Aaron.

He appointed some of the Levites to minister before Yahweh’s ark, and to commemorate, to thank, and to praise Yahweh, the God of Israel:Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed- Edom, and Jeiel, with stringed instruments and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;with Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.

Johanan became the father of Azariah, who executed the priest’s office in the house that Solomon built in Jerusalem.

The priests brought in the ark of Yahweh’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the cherubim’s wings.For the cherubim spread their wings out over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary; but they were not seen outside. They are there to this day.There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.It came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled Yahweh’s house,so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for Yahweh’s glory filled Yahweh’s house.Then Solomon said,“ Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.I have surely built you a house of habitation, a place for you to dwell in forever.”

They set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem, as it is written in the book of Moses.

and Mattaniah the son of Mica, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, who was the chief to begin the thanksgiving in prayer, and Bakbukiah, the second among his brothers; and Abda the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun.All the Levites in the holy city were two hundred eighty- four.Moreover the gatekeepers, Akkub, Talmon, and their brothers, who kept watch at the gates, were one hundred seventy- two.The residue of Israel, of the priests, the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, everyone in his inheritance.But the temple servants lived in Ophel: and Ziha and Gishpa were over the temple servants.The overseer also of the Levites at Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica, of the sons of Asaph, the singers, over the business of God’s house.For there was a commandment from the king concerning them, and a settled provision for the singers, as every day required.

Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh’s name! Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,you who stand in Yahweh’s house, in the courts of our God’s house.Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good. Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.

At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with giving thanks, and with singing, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and with harps.The sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain around Jerusalem and from the villages of the Netophathites;

Look! Praise Yahweh, all you servants of Yahweh, who stand by night in Yahweh’s house!Lift up your hands in the sanctuary. Praise Yahweh!
