Evangelical Heritage Version
16 David told the leading officials of the Levites to appoint their brother Levites as singers with musical instruments, harps, lyres, and cymbals, to raise their voices for the people to hear with joy.
17 The Levites appointed Heman son of Joel, and from the Levites closely related to him they appointed Asaph son of Berekiah, and from their relatives who were the descendants of Merari they appointed Ethan son of Kushaiah.
18 Their brother Levites assigned to serve with them on the second level were Zechariah,[a] Ja’aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Ma’aseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed Edom and Jeiel, the gatekeepers.[b]
Footnotes
- 1 Chronicles 15:18 Many Hebrew manuscripts have the word ben (son of) between Zechariah and Ja’aziel. If this reading is followed, the text originally read Zechariah, son of Ja’aziel, or the text includes the name of another Levite and reads Zechariah, Ben, Ja’aziel. The reading followed in the translation, which treats ben as an accidental addition, is supported by some Hebrew manuscripts and the Greek text.
- 1 Chronicles 15:18 Because of the overlap of the groups and the irregular use of and in the Hebrew, it is uncertain how the groups in verses 18-21 are arranged and how they relate to each other.
