And with them
That is, with Zadok, and the priests with him at Gibeon:

he left Heman and Jeduthun:
or Ethan, two principal singers:

and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name;

1 Chronicles 16:41 In-Context

39 The priest Zadok and his family of priests were assigned to the Tent of God at the sacred mound at Gibeon
40 to make sure that the services of morning and evening worship were conducted daily, complete with Whole-Burnt-Offerings offered on the Altar of Burnt Offering, as ordered in the Law of God, which was the norm for Israel.
41 With them were Heman, Jeduthun, and others specifically named, with the job description: "Give thanks to God, for his love never quits!"
42 Heman and Jeduthun were also well equipped with trumpets, cymbals, and other instruments for accompanying sacred songs. The sons of Jeduthun formed the security guard.
43 Arrangements completed, the people all left for home. And David went home to bless his family.
