The Reign of David

A brother of Michah is Ishshiah; for sons of Ishshiah: Zechariah;

sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi; sons of Jaaziah: Beno;

sons of Merari: of Jaaziah: Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri.

For Mahli: Eleazar, who had no sons;

for Kish: sons of Kish: Jerahmeel.

And sons of Mushi are Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth; these are sons of the Levites, for the house of their fathers,

and they cast, they also, lots over-against their brethren the sons of Aaron, before David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and heads of the fathers, for priests and for Levites; the chief father over-against his younger brother.

And David and the heads of the host separate for service, of the sons of Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun, who are prophesying with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals, and the number of the workmen is according to their service.

Of sons of Asaph: Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asharelah, sons of Asaph, are by the side of Asaph, who is prophesying by the side of the king.

Of Jeduthun: sons of Jeduthun, Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, Shisshah, are by the side of their father Jeduthun; with a harp he is prophesying, for giving of thanks and of praise to Jehovah.

Of Heman: sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamti-Ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, Mahazioth;

all these are sons of Heman--seer of the king in the things of God--to lift up a horn; and God giveth to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

All these are by the side of their father in the song of the house of Jehovah, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God; by the side of the king are Asaph, and Jeduthun, and Heman.

And their number, with their brethren--taught in the song of Jehovah, all who are intelligent--is two hundred, eighty and eight.

And they cause to fall lots--charge over-against charge , as well the small as the great, the intelligent with the learner.

And the first lot goeth out for Asaph to Joseph; to Gedaliah the second; he, and his brethren and his sons, twelve;

the third to Zaccur, his sons and his brethren, twelve;

the fourth to Izri, his sons and his brethren, twelve;

the fifth to Nethaniah, his sons and his brethren, twelve;

the sixth to Bukkiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve;

the seventh to Jesharelah, his sons and his brethren, twelve;

the eighth to Jeshaiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve;

the ninth to Mattaniah, his sons and his brethren, twelve;

the tenth to Shimei, his sons and his brethren, twelve:

eleventh to Azareel, his sons and his brethren, twelve;
