DAVID APPOINTS THE TEMPLE MUSICIANS

David organizes the musicians and worship leaders for the temple. Lots were cast for the different roles, including singing and playing the lyre, cymbals, and harp. There are 288 trained singers—the temple had quite the choir! Some of the musicians listed are also recorded as the author of various psalms. The men are known as the sons of Asaph (Psalm 50, 73-83), Heman (Psalm 88), and Jeduthun (Psalm 39 + 62).
