The Musicians

1 Moreover David and the captains of the army separated for the service some of the sons of aAsaph, of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, stringed instruments, and cymbals. And the number of the skilled men performing their service was:  
2 Of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asharelah; the sons of Asaph were under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied according to the order of the king.  
3 Of aJeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the direction of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp to give thanks and to praise the Lord.  
4 Of Heman, the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamti-Ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth.  
5 All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, to1 exalt his ahorn. For God gave Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.  
6 All these were under the direction of their father for the music in the house of the Lord, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and aharps, for the service of the house of God. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were bunder the authority of the king.  
7 So the anumber of them, with their brethren who were instructed in the songs of the Lord, all who were skillful, was two hundred and eighty-eight.  
8 And they cast lots for their duty, the small as well as the great, athe teacher with the student.

I Chronicles 25:1-7

David’s trained choir of two hundred and eighty-eight prophesied with inspiration. Again, to me, this is not a Levitical function in the sense of equating it, let us say, with a deacon, but a ministerial function, equating it with an elder.

In I Chronicles 6:31-32, the record is left there to you and me of the service of song ministering. This trained choir ministered to the congregation; they were performing duties of personal service in terms of music. To do this rightly in their circumstance, one has to be prepared. Music is every bit as effective at ministering to the congregation as the spoken word, but much more difficult because it requires time-consuming training to do it in the way that is being described here in Chronicles.
