And king David and the captains of the host appointed to their services the sons of Asaph, and of Aeman, and of Idithun, prophesiers with harps, and lutes, and cymbals: and their number was according to their polls serving in their ministrations.

5 Yeinom ne Heman a ɔyɛ ɔhene nkɔmhyɛni no mmammarima. Onyankopɔn domm no mmammarima dunan ne mmammaa baasa.

All these [were] the sons of Aeman the king's chief player in the praises of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Aeman fourteen sons, and three daughters.
