The offering, the tenth, and the dedicated things were brought faithfully. Conaniah the Levite was the officer in charge of them, and his brother Shimei was second.

No accounting was required from the men who received the money to pay those doing the work, since they worked with integrity.

But no accounting is to be required from them for the money put into their hands since they work with integrity."

Then I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, along with Hananiah, commander of the fortress, because he was a faithful man who feared God more than most.

A faithful man will have many blessings, but one in a hurry to get rich will not go unpunished.

In this regard, it is expected of managers that each one be found faithful.

These are the men David put in charge of the music in the LORD's temple after the ark came to rest there.

These are the men who served with their sons. From the Kohathites: Heman the singer, son of Joel, son of Samuel,

son of Zuph, son of Elkanah, son of Mahath, son of Amasai,

son of Tahath, son of Assir, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah,

Heman's relative was Asaph, who stood at his right hand: Asaph son of Berechiah, son of Shimea,

son of Ethni, son of Zerah, son of Adaiah,

son of Jahath, son of Gershom, son of Levi.

son of Hashabiah, son of Amaziah, son of Hilkiah,

son of Mahli, son of Mushi, son of Merari, son of Levi.

Then David told the leaders of the Levites to appoint their relatives as singers and to have them raise their voices with joy accompanied by musical instruments-- harps, lyres, and cymbals.

With them were their relatives second in rank: Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, and the gatekeepers Obed-edom and Jeiel.

Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah were to play harps according to Alamoth;

Chenaniah, the leader of the Levites in music, was to direct the music because he was skillful.

David appointed some of the Levites to be ministers before the ark of the LORD, to celebrate the LORD God of Israel, and to give thanks and praise to Him.

Asaph was the chief and Zechariah was second to him. Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel played the harps and lyres, while Asaph [sounded] the cymbals

With them were Heman, Jeduthun, and the rest who were chosen and designated by name to give thanks to the LORD-- for His faithful love endures forever.

4,000 are to be gatekeepers, and 4,000 are to praise the LORD with the instruments that I have made for worship."

David and the officers of the army also set apart some of the sons of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, who were to prophesy accompanied by lyres, harps, and cymbals. This is the list of the men who performed their service:

From Jeduthun: Jeduthun's sons: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah-- six-- under the authority of their father Jeduthun, prophesying to the accompaniment of lyres, giving thanks and praise to the LORD.

All these sons of Heman, the king's seer, were [given] by the promises of God to exalt him, for God had given Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

Together with their relatives who were all trained and skillful in music for the LORD, they numbered 288.

The first lot for Asaph fell to Joseph, [his sons, and his brothers-- 12] [to] Gedaliah the second: him, his brothers, and his sons-- 12

the fourth to Izri, his sons, and his brothers-- 12

the sixth [to] Bukkiah, his sons, and his brothers-- 12

the eighth [to] Jeshaiah, his sons, and his brothers-- 12

the tenth [to] Shimei, his sons, and his brothers-- 12

the twelfth to Hashabiah, his sons, and his brothers-- 12

the fourteenth [to] Mattithiah, his sons, and his brothers-- 12

the sixteenth to Hananiah, his sons, and his brothers-- 12

the eighteenth to Hanani, his sons, and his brothers-- 12

the twentieth to Eliathah, his sons, and his brothers-- 12

the twenty-second to Giddalti, his sons, and his brothers-- 12

and the twenty-fourth to Romamti-ezer, his sons, and his brothers-- 12.
