1 Chronicles 25 Study Notes

25:6-31 These 288 musicians were the leaders, who had a total of four thousand men to draw on (23:5). The men of the twenty-four divisions reported to the twelve sons of the three head musicians, and they in turn took their directions directly from the king. For most other temple functions, the high priest was the final authority, but since the order of music was primarily David’s innovation, he did not relinquish control over this part of the ministry.
