The number and offices of the singers8. Their division by lot into twenty-four orders From the sons of Heman: Heman was one of the three chief musicians appointed by King David for the service of song in the house of the Lord. He was a descendant of the Levites, specifically from the family of Kohath, which was responsible for the care of the sanctuary. Heman's role as a musician highlights the importance of worship and music in the temple, reflecting the cultural and religious practices of ancient Israel. His lineage and service underscore the hereditary nature of Levitical duties. Bukkiah: Mattaniah: Uzziel: Shebuel: Jerimoth: Hananiah: Hanani: Eliathah: Giddalti: Romamti-ezer: Joshbekashah: Mallothi: Hothir: Mahazioth: Persons / Places / Events 1. HemanA prominent musician and prophet in King David's court, known for his wisdom and musical talent. He was a descendant of the tribe of Levi and played a significant role in the worship practices of Israel. 2. Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shubael, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamti-ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, Mahazioth These are the sons of Heman, who were appointed to serve in the musical ministry of the temple. Each son had a role in the worship and praise of God, contributing to the spiritual life of the nation. 3. Temple Worship The context of this passage is the organization of temple worship under King David. The Levites, including Heman and his sons, were set apart for the ministry of music, which was integral to the worship services. Teaching Points The Importance of Worship in Community LifeWorship is central to the life of God's people, and the organization of worship leaders, like Heman and his sons, highlights the importance of structured and dedicated worship in community life. Generational Faithfulness The listing of Heman's sons underscores the value of passing down faith and service to the next generation, encouraging families to cultivate a legacy of worship and devotion. Diversity of Gifts in Worship The various roles of Heman's sons in temple worship illustrate the diversity of gifts within the body of Christ, reminding us that each person's contribution is vital to the whole. The Role of Music in Spiritual Life Music is a powerful tool for worship and spiritual expression, as demonstrated by Heman and his sons. This encourages believers to incorporate music into their personal and corporate worship experiences.(4) Of Heman.--Rather, To Reman: the sons of Heman were, &c. Fourteen names of Hemanite leaders are given. Curiously enough, the last six, excluding the peculiar "Joshbekashah," form, as they stand, a complete poetical couplet, which may be rendered: "God has come; I have exalted and extolled the help; I have spoken abundance of visions." Such words are very suitable in the mouth of a seer, as Heman is called in the next verse, but the arrangement of the names in this order is perhaps only a mnemonic device Uzziel.--Power of God (Exodus 6:18); called "Azareel" in 1Chronicles 25:18 ( God hath helped, 1Chronicles 12:6). The words differ in Hebrew by one letter only. The Syriac has "Uzziel" (Azael) in both places. But the difference appears in the LXX. and Vulg. Shebuel.--In 1Chronicles 25:20, "Shubael," which the LXX. reads in both places. The Syriac and Vulg. keep the distinction. (Comp. 1Chronicles 24:20.) . . . Verse 4. - The two names Uzziel and Shebuel, in this verse, reappear respectively in vers. 18, 20, as Azareel and Shubael. It is remarkable that the ninth and tenth names of this list, with the twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth, when put together, run into two lines of verse, which may be translated, "These bestowed great and high help; I have abundantly uttered oracles." Ewald suggests that these may be the commencing lines of some ancient prophet's oracles (Ewald, 'Lehrbueh der H. Spr.,' § 274, S. 672, 7th edit., cited by Keil).Parallel Commentaries ...
