SEV Biblia, Chapter 25:1
¶ Asimismo David y los príncipes del ejército apartaron para el ministerio a los hijos de Asaf, y de Hemán, y de Jedutún, los cuales profetizasen con arpas, salterios, y címbalos; y el número de ellos fue, de los varones idóneos para la obra de su ministerio respectivo :
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 25:1
Verse 1. David and the captains of the host] The chiefs of those who formed the several orders: not military captains. Should prophesy] Should accompany their musical instruments with prayer and singing.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 1. Moreover, David and the captains of the host separated to the service , etc.] Of singing the praises of God; this was done by the princes of the people, and the chief of the priests, who were gathered together, and before whom the lots were cast, both for priests and Levites, and now here for the singers, (see 1 Chronicles 22:2 24:6) and those that were separated were of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun ; or Ethan, the three precentors, or chief of the singers: who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals ; sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, endited by the Holy Spirit of God; which contained in them prophecies concerning things to come, particularly relating to the Messiah, of which there are many in the book of Psalms; and to the tunes of these they played on the above instruments of music: and the number of the workmen, according to their service, was ; as follows.
Matthew Henry Commentary
The singers and musicians. --David put those in order who were appointed to be singers an musicians in the temple. To prophesy, in this place, means praising God with great earnestness and devout affections, under the influences of the Holy Spirit. In raising these affections, poetry and music wer employed. If the Spirit of God do not put life and fervour into ou devotions, they will, however ordered, be a lifeless, worthless form __________________________________________________________________
