1 Chronicles 25:5-8

5All those men were sons of Heman, the king's prophet. God had promised to give Heman many children who would give him honour. God gave him 14 sons and three daughters.

6All these musicians were under the authority of their fathers. They used cymbals, harps and lyres to make music to worship the Lord in his temple. The king had authority over Asaph, Jeduthun and Heman.

7All those men had skills to make good music, as well as their relatives. There were 288 Levites who served the Lord as musicians.

8They used lots to decide the right work for each musician. They chose work for everyone in the same way: the young men and the older men, the teachers and the students.
