The appointment of the musicians

Key Passages

About this Chapter

In 1 Chronicles 25, we see the appointment of the musicians who would serve in the temple. King David, along with the commanders of the army, set apart some of the sons of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun to prophesy with the lyres, harps, and cymbals. There were a total of 288 skilled musicians who were chosen for this important role. These musicians were not only skilled in playing instruments, but they were also gifted in prophesying. Their music was not simply for entertainment or worship, but it had a prophetic element to it. Through their music, they would bring forth the word of God and communicate His messages to the people. This chapter reminds us of the importance of music in worship. It shows us that music can be a powerful tool for expressing our devotion to God and for receiving His messages. Just as these musicians were set apart for a specific purpose, we too can use our musical talents and gifts to glorify God and serve His purposes.
