1 Dovydas su vyresniaisiais paskyrė Asafo, Hemano ir Jedutūno sūnus skambinti psalteriais, arfomis ir cimbolais. Šiam tarnavimui buvo paskirti muzikantai.

2 Asafo palikuonių buvo keturi: Zakūras, Juozapas, Netanija ir Asarela. Jiems vadovavo Asafas, laikydamasis karaliaus nurodymų.

3 Jedutūno palikuonys: Gedalijas, Ceris, Izaijas, Šimis, Hašabija ir Matitijas. Jiems vadovavo jų tėvas Jedutūnas; jie skambino arfomis, garbindami Viešpatį ir dėkodami Jam.

5 Visi jie buvo Hemano, karaliaus regėtojo, sūnūs pagal Dievo žodį, kad išaukštintų jo ragą. Dievas davė Hemanui keturiolika sūnų ir tris dukteris.

6 Jie visi, tėvui vadovaujant, giedojo Viešpaties namuose, pritariant cimbolams, arfoms ir psalteriams pagal karaliaus nurodymą Asafui, Jedutūnui ir Hemanui.
