Foure sonnes of Asaph, six of Idithun, and fourtene of Heman, chiefe musicians, 7. with their brethren in •l•wo hundred and fourscore, 8. are distributed by Lottes, in foure and twentie companies, to serue in the temple.
1Moreover David and the chief officers of the army separated for the ministry the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Idithun: to prophesy with harps, and with psalteries, and with cymbals according to their number serving in their appointed office.Davidde adunque, e i capi della moltitudine trascelsero per ministri i figliuoli di Asaph, e di Heman, e d'Idithun: perchè cantassero le lodi di Dio al suono delle cetre, de' salterj, e de' cimbali, servendo in numero conveniente all'ufficio, per cui erano destinati.THERFORE Dauid, and the officers of the hoste seperated for the ministerie the sonnes of Asaph, and Heman, and Idithun: which should prophecie on harpes, & psalteries, & cymbals according to their number seruing the office dedicated to them.Igitur David et magistratus exercitus segregaverunt in ministerium filios Asaph, et Heman, et Idithun, qui prophetarent in citharis, et psalteriis, et cymbalis secundum numerum suum, dedicato sibi officio servientes. 2Of the sons of Asaph: Zacchur, and Joseph, and Nathania, and Asarela, sons of Asaph: under the hand of Asaph prophesying near the king.De' figliuoli di Asaph: Zachur, e Giuseppe, e Nathania, e Asarela figliuoli di Asaph: sotto la direzione di Asaph, il quale cantava presso del re.Of the sonnes of Asaph: Zacchur, and Ioseph, and Nathania, & Asarela, the sonnes of Asaph: vnder the hand of Asaph prophecying neere the king.De filiis Asaph: Zachur, et Joseph, et Nathania, et Asarela, filii Asaph: sub manu Asaph prophetantis juxta regem. 3And of Idithun: the sons of Idithun, Godolias, Sori, Jeseias, and Hasabias, and Mathathias, six, under the hand of their father Idithun, who prophesied with a harp to give thanks and to praise the Lord.I figliuoli poi di Idithun, sei: Idithun, Godolia, Sori, Jeseia, e Hasabia, e Mathathia sotto la direzione del padre loro Idithun, il quale al suon della cetra cantava innanzi a quelli, che celebravano, e laudavano il Signore.Moreouer Idithun: the sonnes of Idithun, Godolias, Sori, Ieseias, and Hasabias, and Mathathias, six, vnder the hand of their father Idithun, who prophecied on harpe ouer them that confessed and praysed our Lord.Porro Idithun: filii Idithun, Godolias, Sori, Jeseias, et Hasabias, et Mathathias, sex, sub manu patris sui Idithun, qui in cithara prophetabat super confitentes et laudantes Dominum. 4Of Heman also: the sons of Heman, Bocciau, Mathaniau, Oziel, Subuel, and Jerimoth, Hananias, Hanani, Eliatha, Geddelthi, and Romemthiezer, and Jesbacassa, Mellothi, Othir, Mahazioth:V'era anche Heman: i figliuoli di Heman furono, Bocciau, Mathaniau, Oziel, Subuel, e Jerimoth, Hanania, Hanani, Eliatha, Geddelthi, e Rom-memthiezer, e Jesbacassa, Mellothi, Othir, Mahazioth.Of Heman also: the sonnes of Heman Bocciau, Mathanias, Oziel, Subuel, and Ierimoth, Hananias, Hanani, Eliatha, Geddelthi, and Romemthiezer, and Iesbacassa, Mellothi, Othir, Mahazioth:Heman quoque: filii Heman, Bocciau, Mathaniau, Oziel, Subuel, et Jerimoth, Hananias, Hanani, Eliatha, Geddelthi, et Romemthiezer, et Jesbacassa, Mellothi, Othir, Mahazioth:
5All these were the sons of Heman the seer of the king in the words of God, to lift up the horn: and God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.Tutti questi figliuoli di Heman (Veggente di David per far parole delle cose di Dio) lo rendevano glorioso: Dio diede ad Heman quattordici figliuoli, e tre figlie.al these the sonnes of Heman the Seer of the king in the wordes of God, that he might exalt the horne: & God gaue to Heman fourtene sonnes and three daughters.omnes isti filii Heman videntis regis in sermonibus Dei, ut exaltaret cornu: deditque Deus Heman filios quatuordecim, et filias tres. 6All these under their father’s hand were distributed to sing in the temple of the Lord, with cymbals, and psalteries and harps, for the service of the house of the Lord near the king: to wit, Asaph, and Idithun, and Heman.Tutti quanti eran distribuiti sotto la direzione de' padri loro, cioè di Asaph, e d'Idithun, e di Heman per cantare nel tempio del Signore sui cimbali, e sui salterj, e sulle cetre, per adempire gli uffizj della casa del Signore presso del re.Al vnder their fathers were distributed to sing in the temple of our Lord, on cymbals, and psalteries and harpes, for the ministeries of the house of our Lord neere the king: to witte, Asaph, and Idithun, and Heman.Universi sub manu patris sui ad cantandum in templo Domini distributi erant, in cymbalis, et psalteriis, et citharis, in ministeria domus Domini juxta regem: Asaph videlicet, et Idithun, et Heman. 7And the number of them with their brethren, that taught the song of the Lord, all the teachers, were two hundred and eighty-eight.E il numero di questi insieme co'loro fratelli, che erano tutti dotti, e insegnavano a cantare le canzoni del Signore, fu di dugento ottantotto.And the number of them with their brethren, that taught the songue of our Lord, al the teachers two hundred eightie eight.Fuit autem numerus eorum cum fratribus suis, qui erudiebant canticum Domini, cuncti doctores, ducenti octoginta octo. 8And they cast lots by their courses, the elder equally with the younger, the learned and the unlearned together.E tutti egualmente tirarono a sorte classe per classe, tanto maggiori, che minori, maestri, e discepoli.And they did cast lottes by their courses, equally as wel the elder as the yonger, the learned and the vnlearned together.Miseruntque sortes per vices suas, ex æquo tam major quam minor, doctus pariter et indoctus. 9And the first lot came forth to Joseph, who was of Asaph.

25:1
Army; the chief magistrates of the state and of the church. (Tirinus) (Chap. 24:6, 31.)
Calmet
The priests, etc., were all divided into twenty-four classes, each having twelve masters to preside, ver. 7. (Calmet)
The twenty-four sons of these three, who were chief musicians under David and Solomon, presided over the bands: eleven other inferior masters helped to instruct the rest, ver. 9.
Prophesy, or play on instruments.
Calmet
Harps. "Kinnor" means also the "guitar." (Calmet)
Vulgate has, lyras, 1 Paralipomenon 15:16.
Menochius
Psalteries. Hebrew, "nebalim." (Menochius)
Lyranus
The Jews pretend that the singers were inspired commonly, when they sounded forth God's praises in the temple, as Eliseus was, 4 Kings 3:15. (Lyranus; Estius)
Worthington
But they may be said to prophesy, because they sung the composition of the prophets. (Worthington)
Haydock
According. Hebrew, "and the number of the workmen, (or experienced musicians) according to their service, was." (Haydock)
The chiefs of the twenty-four bands were carefully selected.
25:2
Calmet
King, who sat in a separate tribune. Asaph presided in the royal city, at court, and in the tabernacle, while some of the singers were fixed at Gabaon, 1 Paralipomenon 16:7, 37, and 41. (Calmet)
Pagnin
Hebrew may signify, "at the king's command.["] (Pagnin)
Haydock
He sometimes condescended to direct the singers, ver. 6. (Haydock)
25:3
Haydock
Of Idithun; or, altering the punctuation, (Du Hamel) "Now the sons of Idithun were Idithun, the first-born, Godolias (Haydock) Sori, or Isari, ver. 11. Thus, the number six, will be complete: otherwise we much acknowledge that Idithun, the father, is counted with his children; or that a name is lost, perhaps that of Semeias, (ver. 17.; Calmet) as [the] Alexandrian Septuagint has Semei before Hasabias. (Haydock)
Calmet
Harp, (kinnor.) This was the distinctive instrument of this band, as the horn was of Heman's. (Calmet)
25:5
Menochius
Seer; a title usually given to the real prophets, who foresee future things. (Menochius)
Calmet
Gad has this title, 2 Paralipomenon 24:11. But Heman's office was to proclaim the words of God, with the sound of the horn. This musician had formerly been fixed at Gabaon, 1 Paralipomenon 16:41. (Calmet)
Tirinus
To lift up the horn, or to sing those psalms, which regarded the kingdom of David, and of Christ, as others were composed for the instruction of the people. (Tirinus)
Menochius
Daughters. These are specified, only because they joined with their brethren, in singing in the temple. (Abulensis, q. 14.) (Menochius)
Calmet
At least, we find that there were bands of young women, in the solemn procession. (Haydock) (Chap. 15:20., and Psalm 67:26.) (Calmet)
25:6
Near. Hebrew, "under the hand of the king," who presided over a band of musicians, as well as Asaph; (Calmet) or he directed all, particularly giving his instructions to Asaph, etc.
Haydock
To wit in not in Hebrew, "by the order of the king to Asaph." (Haydock)
25:7
Eight, comprising the twenty-four princes, and the eleven secondary masters of each of the bands, or twelve times twenty-four, ver. 1.
25:8
Haydock
Unlearned. Hebrew and Septuagint, "the scholars." (Haydock)
After the singers had been distributed into twenty-four classes, pretty equal in number, lots decided which of them should serve first, (Menochius) as had been done with the priests, 1 Paralipomenon 24:31. See 1 Paralipomenon 26:13.
25:9
Tirinus
Asaph. Add, "to him, and (Haydock) to his sons, and his brethren, twelve," who taught the rest. Unless these twelve be admitted, (Tirinus) as in the sequel, (Haydock) the number 288 will not be found, ver. 7. (Tirinus)
Haydock
Septuagint is very confused: "And the first (entire) lot of his sons and brethren came out to Asaph, of Joseph, Godolias: the second Enia, his brethren, and his sons, twelve." Hebrew, "the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph; the second to," etc. (Protestants) In all the subsequent verses they read, "he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve." Why Asaph should be mentioned any more than Idithun or Heman, does not appear. Their children are placed indiscriminately by lot. (Haydock)
25:14
Calmet
Isreela; probably Oziel, ver. 4. (Calmet)
25:1
Otherwise called Ethan. ch. 6. v 44. c. 15. v. 19.
They played o• instrumentes, Psalmes and Canticles made by Prophetes.
25:1
1. Magistratus exercitus, id est principes tam politici quam ecclesiastici; exercitus enim vocatur totus populus tam laicorum quam Levitarum ob multitudinem; erant enim multi et constipati, iique per ordines quasi acies dispositi, uti sunt milites in exercitu. Magistratus Levitarum, cap. XXIV, 6, vocantur «principes Sanctuarii.» Qui prophetarent (id est qui canerent laudarentque Deum) in citharis, secundum numerum suum dedicato sibi officio servientes, q. d. quilibet in sua vice tanto numero canebant, quanto ad canendum destinati erant; una enim familia numerosior unum cantorum ordinem constituens plures habebat cantores, quam illa quæ pauciores in se domesticos continebat. Hebraice est viri operis in ministerio suo, id est viri diligentes, et scite fungentes munere suo, q. d. Isti omnes fuere musici peritissimi, inquit Vatablus. Sub manu (sub regimine et directione) Asaph prophetantis (canentis Dei laudes) juxta regem, scilicet in arce Sion coram arca, juxta sedem Davidis, ubi nimirum ipsi sedere, et Dei laudibus interesse solebat. Nam verisimile est alios cantores fuisse deputatos ad canendum in Tabernaculo Moysis, quod erat in Gabaon; unde aliqui, ut utrosque comprehendant, explicant τὸ juxta regem, q. d. Juxta regis præscriptum et distributionem, ut hi in Sion, illi in Gabaon canerent.
25:3
3. Filii Idithun, Godolias, Sori, Jeseias, et Hasabias, et Mathathias, sex. — Recensiti hic sunt quinque duntaxat, ut patet eos numeranti. Deest ergo sextus, quem verisimile est esse «Semeiam,» qui nominatur vers. 17 in decima sorte; Semeias enim non nominatur inter filios Asaph nec inter filios Heman. Fuit ergo filius Idithun; horum trium enim filii hic describuntur, ut patet vers. 1.
25:5
5. Omnes isti filii Heman Videntis regis in sermonibus Dei. — Heman vocatur Videns, id est propheta, hoc est cantor divinarum laudum apud Davidem. «In sermonibus Dei,» id est cum Dei sermones, id est res et laudes canerentur, q. d. David in aula et mensa habebat suos symphoniacos, qui profana canebant ad regis honestam recreationem; hic vero Heman curabat duntaxat sacra cani in Tabernaculo, cum David divinis officiis vacaret. «Sermones ergo Dei» erant psalmi, hymni et cantica divinarum laudum. Ut exaltaret cornu, id est ut canendo exaltaret magnitudinem, magnificentiam, et immensam majestatem, sapientiam, misericordiam, potentiam, clementiam et beneficentiam Dei. Ita Abulensis. Secundo, et magis præcise, q. d. Heman curabat cani psalmos, in quibus David orat, et prædicit exaltandum «cornu,» id est regnum, potentiam, et gloriam tam imperii sui, quam antitypi Christi. Hoc enim audire David erat gratissimum et desideratissimum. Unde crebro in psalmis de hac cornu exaltatione agit. Hinc Vatablus sic vertit: Qui erat regis videns in verbis divinis ut erigeretur cornu; idque sic explicat, q. d. Heman prophetavit de Davide quod assequeretur magnam famam et gloriam. «Cornu» enim significat dignitatem et gloriam, item robur et vires, ac si dicatur, ad exaltandam dignitatem et potentiam regiam. Asaph enim et Idithun canebant alios psalmos, qui ad populum erudiendum et consolandum spectabant, eumque ad pietatem et ad Deum secum laudandum excitabant.
25:7
7. Qui erudiebant canticum, id est «doctores,» ut sequitur, qui docebant reliquos scite canere et psallere tam voce, quam instrumentis musicis.
25:8
8. Doctus pariter et indoctus, q. d. Æque peritus canendi ac imperitus, æque doctor ac discipulus, q. d. David distribuit cantores in 24 classes, et cuique classi dedit duodecim magistros musices peritos, qui cæteros docerent canere, eosque in cantu dirigerent et perficerent. Quocirca magistri hi universim fuere 288, ut dictum est vers. 7. Multiplica enim 24 per 12, resultabit numerus 288.
25:1
… In seguito A. era il capo e precedera Heman e Jeduthun (ibid. 6, 5; 25, 1). Era il primo dei musici, che, divisi in tre categorie, dipendevano immediatamente da David (ibid. 25, 5-6). Lo strumento particolare di competenza di A. e del suo gruppo era il cembalo …
IDITHUN (EBR. JĒDHITHĀN E JĒDHITHĀN «LODANTE»)
È detto che costoro «profetavano», il che può riferirsi sia ad un autentico carisma profetico, sia, con minore probabilità, ad un'eccitazione mistica accompagnata da suoni e canti (I Par. 25, 1; II Par. 35, 15; cf. I Sam. 10, 5). I., discendente di Merari, con i suoi figli suonava la cetra. …

NATANIA (EBR. NETHANJAH E NETHANJAHU = « DONO DI JAHWEH »)
… di Giuditta (Iud. 8, 1, Volgata); nei Settanta è detto Nathanael. 3. Figlio di Selemia e padre di Iudi, tra i principi di Giuda (Jer. 36, 14). 4. Terzo figlio di Asaph, musicista nel Tempio, contemporaneo di David; fu il capo della quinta divisione (I Par. 25, 2. 12). 5. Uno dei leviti mandati dal re Iosaphat, insieme con due sacerdoti e cinque principi, per le città di Giuda a istruire il popolo nella Legge (II Par. 17, 8).
25:3
MATTATIA (EBR. MATTIÑĀH [Ä] « DONO DI JAHWEH »; SETTANTA MATTAÑĀH; VOLG. MATHATHIAS)
Portarono inoltre questo nome un levita, figlio di Sellum, discendente di Core (I Par. 9, 31; 15, 18; 16, 5), un figlio di Idithun (I Par. 25, 3, 21) e un sacerdote con moglie straniera al tempo di Esdra (Esd. 10, 43), distinto dall'omonimo di Neh. 8, 4. Angelo Penna
SEMEI (EBR. ŠIM'T «[IL SIGNORE] MI HA ASCOLTATO»)
Tra gli altri S., alcuni sono dell'età di David: un suo fratello (II Sam. 21, 21), altrove detto Samma (I Sam. 16, 9; 17, 13); un partigiano di Salomone durante il tentativo di Adonia (I Reg. 1, 8); un levita tra i cantori di David (I Par. 25, 3). Vanno inoltre ricordati: un nipote di Levi (Ex. 6, 17 ecc.); un simeonita celebre per la numerosa figliolanza (I Par. 4, 26 sg.); un antenato di Gesù Cristo (Lc. 2, 26, gr. ŻĘṭṭṭṭṭ). …
25:4
… Capo di un gruppo di cantori, prima a Gabaon e poi nel Tempio tra il coro di Ethan alla sua sinistra e quello di Asaph a destra: I Par. 6, 18; 15, 17, 19; 16, 41 (da correggere in 16, 42); 25, 1. 4-6. 39. 44. È detto «profeta» (házah) di David per il canto (I Par. 25, 4 sg.), nel senso di uomo consacrato al culto divino (cf. I Sam. 10, 5). Ebbe 14 figli e 3 figlie: I Par. 25, 4 sg. Con il suo coro partecipò alla dedicazione del Tempio di Salomone (II Par. 5, 12).
… Un levita, figlio di Heman, capo della 18ª classe dei cantori (I Par. 25, 4-25). Un sacerdote, figlio di Emmer, che rimandò la donna straniera sposata in esilio (Esd. 10, 20). Un fratello di Neemia, cui questi affidò il governo di Gerusalemme (Neh. 1, 2; …

… In seguito A. era il capo e precedera Heman e Jeduthun (ibid. 6, 5; 25, 1). Era il primo dei musici, che, divisi in tre categorie, dipendevano immediatamente da David (ibid. 25, 5-6). Lo strumento particolare di competenza di A. e del suo gruppo era il cembalo (mēṣiltajjīm, ibid. 15, 19; 16, 5; cf. 25, 1). I discendenti di A. sono ricordati come i continuatori …

LEVITI (EBR. LĒWĪ, PLUR. LĒWĪJĪM; GR. LĒWĪJĪ, PLUR. - AI)
… I musici, in numero di 288 (ibid. 25, 7; cf. 23, 5) erano delle famiglie di Asaph, Heman e Idithun, menzionati anche come autori di salmi (Ps. 50, 62, 73-83, 88; cf. 89). Al tempo dell'apostasia del nord i L. diedero nuovamente …
