MOREOVER Daviyd and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Acaph, and of Heyman, and of Yeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their service was:

2

Of the sons of Acaph; Zakkur, and Yoceph, and Nethanyahu, and Asar'elah, the sons of Acaph under the hands of Acaph, which prophesied according to the order of the king.

3

Of Yeduthun: the sons of Yeduthun; Gadolyahu, and Tseriy, and Yesha`yahu, Chashavyahu, and Mattithyahu, six, under the hands of their father Yeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise Yahuah.
