1 Chronicles 6:39

39 et fratres eius Asaph qui stabat a dextris eius Asaph filius Barachiae filii Samaa

1 Chronicles 6:39 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 39-43. And his brother Asaph
That is, Heman's brother; so Asaph was, as he was a descendant from the same original ancestor Levi, yet in the line of Gershon; and as being of the same office, a precentor, or chief singer:

who stood on his right hand;
he was next to Heman; Heman stood in the middle, which was the most honourable ^F8, and Asaph on his right hand, and Ethan, after mentioned, on his left; even Asaph, whose name is often met with in the book of Psalms; and his genealogy here stands thus, as traced up to Levi, viz. Berechiah, Shimea, Michael, Baaseiah, Malchiah, Ethni, Zerah, Adaiah, Ethan, Zimmah, Shimei, Jahath, Gershon, Levi.
