1Untuk memimpin upacara-upacara ibadat, Raja Daud dan para pemimpin orang Lewi memilih kaum-kaum Lewi yang berikut ini: Asaf, Heman dan Yedutun. Mereka ditugaskan untuk menyampaikan pesan dari Allah dengan diiringi musik kecapi, gambus dan simbal. Untuk memimpin ibadat dengan upacaranya masing-masing, dipilih regu-regu berikut ini:
1Moreover David and the captains of the host set apart for the service certain of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of them that did the work according to their service was:
2Keempat anak lelaki Asaf: Zakur, Yusuf, Netanya dan Asarela. Pemimpin mereka adalah Asaf, yang menyampaikan pesan dari Allah, apabila ditugaskan oleh raja.
2of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asharelah, the sons of Asaph, under the hand of Asaph, who prophesied after the order of the king.
3Keenam anak lelaki Yedutun: Gedalya, Zeri, Yesaya, Simei, Hasabya dan Matica. Di bawah pimpinan ayah mereka, mereka menyampaikan pesan dari Allah diiringi musik kecapi, dan mereka menyanyikan nyanyian pujian serta ucapan syukur kepada TUHAN.
3Of Jeduthun; the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun with the harp, who prophesied in giving thanks and praising Jehovah.

5Heman adalah nabi pribadi raja. TUHAN memberikan keempat belas anak lelaki itu serta tiga anak perempuan kepada Heman karena TUHAN telah berjanji untuk memberi kedudukan terhormat kepadanya.
5All these were the sons of Heman the king's seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.
6Semua anak Heman itu memainkan musik simbal, kecapi dan gambus di bawah pimpinan ayah mereka untuk mengiringi upacara ibadat di Rumah TUHAN. Asaf, Yedutun dan Heman mendapat tugas sesuai dengan petunjuk dari raja.
6All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of Jehovah, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God; Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman being under the order of the king.
7Kedua puluh empat anak lelaki mereka itu dan sanak saudara mereka adalah ahli-ahli musik yang terlatih. Mereka seluruhnya ada 288 orang.
7And the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in singing unto Jehovah, even all that were skilful, was two hundred fourscore and eight.
8Untuk menentukan giliran tugas, mereka semuanya menarik undi--baik yang muda maupun yang tua, baik yang berpengalaman maupun yang baru mulai belajar.
8And they cast lots for their offices, all alike, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.
9Ke-288 orang itu dibagi dalam 24 kelompok menurut keluarga masing-masing. Setiap kelompok terdiri dari 12 orang di bawah pimpinan satu orang. Inilah urutan nama mereka menurut undian: 1.
