David Organizes the Musicians

25:1 David and the army officers selected some of the sons of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun to prophesy as they played stringed instruments and cymbals. ⁴  The following men were assigned this responsibility: ⁵ 

[13:8]  ¹ tn Heb “with all strength.”

[13:8]  ² tn Heb “with songs and with zithers [meaning uncertain] and with harps.” Due to the collocation with “harps,” some type of stringed instrument is probably in view.

[15:16]  ³ tn Heb “causing to be heard to lift up with a voice of joy.”

[25:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “David and the officers of the army set apart for service the sons of Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, the ones prophesying by harps, by lyres, and by cymbals.”

[25:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “and their number was, the men of work for their service.”
