The genealogies of David’ s three chief singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan or Jeduthun.
They waited on their office - On the establishment and continuance of the choral service in the temple, see 2Ch 5:12, 2Ch 29:27-30; 2Ch 35:15.
Heman - In general Asaph takes precedence of Heman and Jeduthun, but here Heman is placed first, because his family, that of the Kohathites, had the highest priestly rank, being the family which furnished the high priests (see 1Ch 6:2-15).
Shemuel - i. e. "Samuel."Our translators have here given the Hebrew, while elsewhere they give uniformlv the Greek, form of the name. We learn by this genealogy that Heman was Samuel’ s grandson.
His brother Asaph - Not "brother"in the ordinary sense of the term, since Asaph was the son of Berachiah, and a Gershonite, not a Kohathite. "Brother"here may mean "fellow-craftsman"(compare 1Ch 25:7).
Ethan - Or Jeduthun (see the margin). Corruption will scarcely account for the two forms of the name, since Ethan is used persistently up to a certain point 1Ch 15:19, after which we have uniformly "Jeduthun."The case seems to be rather one in which a new name was taken after a while, which thenceforth superseded the old. Compare Abraham, Sarah, Joshua, Jehoiakim, Zedekiah, etc.

And they ministered before the dwelling place of the tabernacles of the congregation with singing,.... Psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; this service they performed before the ark, which was in a tent or tabernacle David pitched for it; and which the Targum here calls the tabernacle of time, or a temporary tabernacle:
until Solomon had built the house of the Lord in Jerusalem; the temple there:
and then they waited on their office according to their order; performed it in the manner prescribed by David, see 1Ch 25:1.
