And they did not ask for an accounting from the men into whose hand they delivered the money to pay out to the workmen, for they dealt honestly.

4,000 gatekeepers, and 4,000 shall offer praises to the Lord with the instruments that I have made for praise.”

And they faithfully brought in the contributions, the tithes, and the dedicated things. The chief officer in charge of them was Conaniah the Levite, with Shimei his brother as second,

But no accounting shall be asked from them for the money that is delivered into their hand, for they deal honestly.”

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.

Then he appointed some of the Levites as ministers before the ark of the Lord, to invoke, to thank, and to praise the Lord, the God of Israel.Asaph was the chief, and second to him were Zechariah, Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel, who were to play harps and lyres; Asaph was to sound the cymbals,

David and the chiefs of the service also set apart for the service the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who prophesied with lyres, with harps, and with cymbals. The list of those who did the work and of their duties was:Of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asharelah, sons of Asaph, under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied under the direction of the king.Of Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the direction of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with the lyre in thanksgiving and praise to the Lord.Of Heman, the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamti-ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, Mahazioth.All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer, according to the promise of God to exalt him, for God had given Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.They were all under the direction of their father in the music in the house of the Lord with cymbals, harps, and lyres for the service of the house of God. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were under the order of the king.The number of them along with their brothers, who were trained in singing to the Lord, all who were skillful, was 288.And they cast lots for their duties, small and great, teacher and pupil alike.The first lot fell for Asaph to Joseph; the second to Gedaliah, to him and his brothers and his sons, 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;to the thirteenth, Shubael, his sons and his brothers, twelve;to the fourteenth, Mattithiah, his sons and his brothers, twelve;to the fifteenth, to Jeremoth, his sons and his brothers, twelve;to the sixteenth, to Hananiah, his sons and his brothers, twelve;to the seventeenth, to Joshbekashah, his sons and his brothers, twelve;to the eighteenth, to Hanani, his sons and his brothers, twelve;to the nineteenth, to Mallothi, his sons and his brothers, twelve;to the twentieth, to Eliathah, his sons and his brothers, twelve;to the twenty-first, to Hothir, his sons and his brothers, twelve;to the twenty-second, to Giddalti, his sons and his brothers, twelve;to the twenty-third, to Mahazioth, his sons and his brothers, twelve;to the twenty-fourth, to Romamti-ezer, his sons and his brothers, twelve.

A faithful man will abound with blessings, but whoever hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.

These are the men whom David put in charge of the service of song in the house of the Lord after the ark rested there.They ministered with song before the tabernacle of the tent of meeting until Solomon built the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, and they performed their service according to their order.These are the men who served and their sons. Of the sons of the Kohathites: Heman the singer the son of Joel, son of Samuel,son of Elkanah, son of Jeroham, son of Eliel, son of Toah,son of Zuph, son of Elkanah, son of Mahath, son of Amasai,son of Elkanah, son of Joel, son of Azariah, son of Zephaniah,son of Tahath, son of Assir, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah,son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi, son of Israel;and his brother Asaph, who stood on his right hand, namely, Asaph the son of Berechiah, son of Shimea,son of Michael, son of Baaseiah, son of Malchijah,son of Ethni, son of Zerah, son of Adaiah,son of Ethan, son of Zimmah, son of Shimei,son of Jahath, son of Gershom, son of Levi.On the left hand were their brothers, the sons of Merari: Ethan the son of Kishi, son of Abdi, son of Malluch,son of Hashabiah, son of Amaziah, son of Hilkiah,son of Amzi, son of Bani, son of Shemer,son of Mahli, son of Mushi, son of Merari, son of Levi.And their brothers the Levites were appointed for all the service of the tabernacle of the house of God.

Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.

I gave my brother Hanani and Hananiah the governor of the castle charge over Jerusalem, for he was a more faithful and God-fearing man than many.

David also commanded the chiefs of the Levites to appoint their brothers as the singers who should play loudly on musical instruments, on harps and lyres and cymbals, to raise sounds of joy.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;and with them their brothers of the second order, Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and the gatekeepers Obed-edom and Jeiel.The singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were to sound bronze cymbals;Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah were to play harps according to Alamoth;but Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah were to lead with lyres according to the Sheminith.Chenaniah, leader of the Levites in music, should direct the music, for he understood it.
