Quindi Davide, insieme con i capi dell'esercito, separò per il servizio i figli di Asaf, di Eman e di Idutun, che eseguivano la musica sacra con cetre, arpe e cembali. Il numero di questi uomini incaricati di tale attività fu:

5 All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.
Tutti costoro erano figli di Eman, veggente del re riguardo alle parole di Dio; per esaltare la sua potenza Dio concesse a Eman quattordici figli e tre figlie.
6 All these were under the hands of their father for song in the LORD’s house, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and harps, for the service of God’s house: Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman being under the order of the king.
