Context of 1 Chronicles 25:6

4From the sons of Heman were Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamti Ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth. 5(All of them were the sons of the king’s seer Heman. They were given to him to make him prominent, as God had promised. So God gave Heman 14 sons and 3 daughters.) All these ⌞Levites⌟ sang at the Lord’s temple under the direction of their fathers Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman. They played cymbals, lyres, and harps for worship in God’s temple under the direction of the king. 7They, along with their relatives, were trained, skilled musicians for the Lord. There were 288 of them. 8They drew lots for their assignment of duties, the youngest as well as the oldest, the skilled ⌞musicians⌟ along with the students.
