15:16 David told the leaders of the Levites to appoint some of their relatives as musicians; they were to play various instruments, including stringed instruments and cymbals, and to sing loudly and joyfully. ³  15:17 So the Levites appointed Heman son of Joel; one of his relatives, Asaph son of Berechiah; one of the descendants of Merari, ⁴  Ethan son of Kushaiah; 15:18 along with some of their relatives who were second in rank, including Zechariah, ⁵  Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, the gatekeepers.

[6:39]  ¹ tn Heb “and his brother Asaph, the one who stood at his right hand.”

[6:44]  ² tn Heb “and the sons of Merari, their brothers, on the left.”

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

[15:17]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew text adds, “their brothers.”

[15:18]  ⁵ tc The Hebrew text adds בֶּן (ben, “son”) here; the word is omitted in three Hebrew mss and most LXX mss. If the word is original, perhaps the name of Zechariah’s father was accidentally omitted. Some English versions treat the word as an additional name in the list (“Ben”; e.g., KJV, ASV, NASB).
