1 Chronicles 25:5 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 25:5

All these were the sons of Heman, the king's seer
The prophet of the king, as the Targum, who was frequently with him, assisting him in the words of God:
in divine things: to lift up the horn;
to blow with the hornpipe or trumpet, and to magnify and set forth the greatness of the kingdom of Israel, and especially of the King Messiah, the horn of salvation, that would be raised up in the house of David: and God gave to Heman fourteen sons;
whose names are before mentioned: and three daughters;
of whom we have no more account, only may observe, that both are the gifts of God, and an heritage from him, ( Psalms 127:3 ) .

5 All these were the sons of Heman, the king’s seer, for God had honored him with fourteen sons and three daughters.

6 All these men were under the direction of their fathers as they made music at the house of the LORD . Their responsibilities included the playing of cymbals, harps, and lyres at the house of God. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman reported directly to the king.

7 They and their families were all trained in making music before the LORD, and each of them—288 in all—was an accomplished musician.
