And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments of musick ,
psalteries and harps and cymbals ,
sounding ,
by lifting up the voice with joy .
*
So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel ;
and of his brethren ,
Asaph the son of Berechiah ;
and of the sons of Merari their brethren ,
Ethan the son of Kushaiah ;
*
And with them their brethren of the second degree ,
Zechariah ,
Ben ,
and Jaaziel ,
and Shemiramoth ,
and Jehiel ,
and Unni ,
Eliab ,
and Benaiah ,
and Maaseiah ,
and Mattithiah ,
and Elipheleh ,
and Mikneiah ,
and Obededom ,
and Jeiel ,
the porters .
*
So the singers ,
Heman ,
Asaph ,
and Ethan ,
were appointed to sound with cymbals of brass ;
*
And Zechariah ,
and Aziel ,
and Shemiramoth ,
and Jehiel ,
and Unni ,
and Eliab ,
and Maaseiah ,
and Benaiah ,
with psalteries on Alamoth ;
*
And Mattithiah ,
and Elipheleh ,
and Mikneiah ,
and Obededom ,
and Jeiel ,
and Azaziah ,
with harps on the Sheminith to excel .
*
And Chenaniah ,
chief of the Levites ,
was for song :
he instructed about the song ,
because he was skilful .
