1 Chronicles 15:8-22

8of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and two hundred of his brethren;

9of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and eighty of his brethren;

10of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and one hundred and twelve of his brethren.

11And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites: for Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.

12He said to them, “You are the heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites; sanctify yourselves, you and your brethren, that you may bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel to the place I have prepared for it.

19the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were to sound the cymbals of bronze;

20Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with strings according to Alamoth;

21Mattithiah, Elipheleh, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah, to direct with harps on the Sheminith;

22Chenaniah, leader of the Levites, was instructor in charge of the music, because he was skillful;
