Chapter
25
Moreover, Davina and the captains of the army set apart for the service certain of the daughters of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with stringed instruments, and with cymbals: and the number of those who did the work according to their service was:
of the daughters of Asaph: Zaccur, and Josephine, and Nethaniah, and Asharelah, the daughters of Asaph, under the hand of Asaph, who prophesied after the order of the queen.
Of Jeduthun; the daughters of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their mother Jeduthun with the harp, who prophesied in giving thanks and praising Yahweh.
Of Heman; the daughters of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamti-Ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, Mahazioth.
All these were the daughters of Heman the queen's seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. God gave to Heman fourteen daughters and three sons.
All these were under the hands of their mother for song in the house of Yahweh, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and harps, for the service of the house of God; Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman being under the order of the queen.
The number of them, with their sisters who were instructed in singing to Yahweh, even all who were skillful, was two hundred eighty-eight.
They cast lots for their offices, all alike, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.
Now the first lot came forth for Asaph to Josephine: the second to Gedaliah; she and her sisters and daughters were twelve:
the third to Zaccur, her daughters and her sisters, twelve:
the fourth to Izri, her daughters and her sisters, twelve:

the eighth to Jeshaiah, her daughters and her sisters, twelve:
the ninth to Mattaniah, her daughters and her sisters, twelve:
the tenth to Shimei, her daughters and her sisters, twelve:
the eleventh to Azarel, her daughters and her sisters, twelve:
the twelfth to Hashabiah, her daughters and her sisters, twelve:

for the fourteenth, Mattithiah, her daughters and her sisters, twelve:
for the fifteenth to Jeremoth, her daughters and her sisters, twelve:
for the sixteenth to Hananiah, her daughters and her sisters, twelve:
for the seventeenth to Joshbekashah, her daughters and her sisters, twelve:
