The number and offices of the singers8. Their division by lot into twenty-four orders All these sons of Heman The phrase "All these sons of Heman" refers to the descendants of Heman, who was a prominent figure in the musical worship of Israel. Heman was one of the three chief musicians appointed by King David to lead worship in the tabernacle. The mention of his sons highlights the continuation of his legacy in the service of God. In the Hebrew context, the family lineage was crucial, and the sons of Heman were likely trained in the musical arts to serve in the temple, emphasizing the importance of generational faithfulness and the passing down of spiritual gifts. the king’s seer were given him through the promises of God to exalt him for God had given Heman fourteen sons and three daughters The king's seer in the words of God.--Or, in the things of God, in Divine (that is, liturgical) matters. Heman was a prophet as well as a minstrel. (For the connection between music and prophecy, comp. 1Samuel 10:5-6; 2Kings 3:15; Exodus 15:20.) Comp. also Note on 1Chronicles 25:1, above. Seer.--Heb., h?zeh. Literally, gazer. The word rendered "seer" in 1Chronicles 26:28 and 1Samuel 9:9 is different (r?'eh). Gad was called "David's seer" (1Chronicles 21:9); so also Jeduthun is "the king's seer" (2Chronicles 35:15). . . . Verse 5. - For the expression, the king's seer, and as other instances of the office, see 1 Chronicles 21:9; 2 Chronicles 35:15, in neither of which places, however, have we the attendant phrase, in the words of God. Yet we have the same sense strictly implied in 1 Chronicles 21:9, 19. The expression needs not to be generalized into "in the matters of God," but evidently describes the seer (Heman, Gad, or Jeduthun) as the authorized medium of verbal communication between God and the king. There is difficulty in assigning the right place of the clause, to lift up the horn. There can be no doubt at all that it contains no allusion whatever to the horn as an instrument of sound (the almost solitary approach to which use of the word is found in Joshua 6:5), but that it falls in with the very frequent figurative use of the phrase as it occurs in the very same words (Psalm 75:5, 6; Psalm 89:18, 25; Psalm 92:12; Psalm 112:9; 1 Samuel 2:1, 10, etc.), and which means "to add to the strength" or "honour" of any one. The allusion is to the number of Heman's children being a mark of the honour God set on him. The words cannot go with the latter part of the verse, while the conjunction (vav) in וַיִּתֵּן opens it. The possible order may be, All these sons were to Heman, the king's seer, by the words of God, to lift up the horn. The absence of the third personal pronoun suffix to קֶרֶן is noticeable, place the clause where we will The statement of the fourteen sons and three daughters belonging to Heman, in this verse, shows that up to this point the word "sons" is used in its stricter sense, however true it may be that the sense is amplified in vers. 10-31.Parallel Commentaries ...
