Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 25:3

(3) Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun.—Rather, To Jeduthun (i.e., belonging to the guild so called): the sons of Jeduthun were Gedaliah, &c.Zeri.—The “Izri” of 1 Chronicles 25:11 is probably right. (Comp. Numbers 26:49.) The error here is as old as the ancient versions.Six.—Only five names are now read in the text; that of “Shimei” (1 Chronicles 25:17) has fallen out, the only name in 1 Chronicles 25:9-31 which does not occur in 1 Chronicles 25:2-4. The Alex. LXX. inserts the name between... read more

(4) Of Heman.—Rather, To Reman: the sons of Heman were, &c. Fourteen names of Hemanite leaders are given. Curiously enough, the last six, excluding the peculiar “Joshbekashah,” form, as they stand, a complete poetical couplet, which may be rendered:“God has come; I have exalted and extolled the help;I have spoken abundance of visions.”Such words are very suitable in the mouth of a seer, as Heman is called in the next verse, but the arrangement of the names in this order is perhaps only a... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 25:5

(5) All these were the sons of Heman.—Literally, Were sons to Heman.The king’s seer in the words of God.—Or, in the things of God, in Divine (that is, liturgical) matters. Heman was a prophet as well as a minstrel. (For the connection between music and prophecy, comp. 1 Samuel 10:5-6; 2 Kings 3:15; Exodus 15:20.) Comp. also Note on 1 Chronicles 25:1, above.Seer.—Heb., hôzèh. Literally, gazer. The word rendered “seer” in 1 Chronicles 26:28 and 1 Samuel 9:9 is different (rô’èh). Gad was called... read more

Prophetic Music 1 Chronicles 25:3 The singing of Jeduthun and his sons, accompanied as it was by the rich tones of the harp, is described as prophesying. They 'prophesied with a harp'. They made a revelation of Divine truth by music, vocal and instrumental. I. This is a Notable Form of Prophecy. Prophecy may assume many forms; the uttered word, the written word, the symbolic action. But how impressive this particular form, communicating spiritual truth by song and harp! It is Spiritual. The... read more

4. The Singers and Musicians of the Temple CHAPTER 25 1. Sons of Asaph, Jeduthun and Heman (1 Chronicles 25:1-7 ) 2. Their division by Lot into twenty-four (1 Chronicles 25:8-31 ) As we have seen before, Asaph, Jeduthun (Ethan) and Heman were the master leaders in song and music; their service was eminently spiritual, for we read “they should prophesy.” Heman especially is called the king’s seer in the words of God. This is a significant expression. How much there is in what is termed... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 25:1-31

DAVID ’S REIGN THE DOWNFALL OF SAUL (1 Chronicles 10:0 ) In reading this chapter with whose general contents we became familiar in 1 Samuel 31:0 , it is important to note the inspired comment at its close (1 Chronicles 10:13-14 ). DAVID’S HEROES (1 Chronicles 11-12) In the history of David in this book, the writer dwells chiefly on its prosperous side, passing over the rest as lightly as possible. His anointing at Hebron (1 Chronicles 11:1-3 ) reveals nothing of what we learned earlier of... read more

Gleanings 1 Chronicles 24-26 FROM the twenty-fourth chapter to the end of the book we find much that cannot be turned to spiritual profit, yet here and there we come upon single expressions which are very significant and beautiful. What we lose in continuity, therefore, we may gain in single values. Continuity is not the only excellence to be studied. The string is continuous, but the pearls which are hung upon it are single. Do not despise a single stone, a single flower, a single ear of... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Chronicles 25:5

"Handfuls of Purpose," For All Gleaners "And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters." 1 Chronicles 25:5 . We mistake if we think that the sons and the daughters belonged to Heman alone. Heman himself would have taken a false estimate of the occasion if he had called these sons and daughters his own in any sense of proprietorship and right of destiny. It is only in a secondary sense that the child belongs to the human father; the father himself is a child, and every child is... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Chronicles 25:2-31

The whole of what is here said of the order in which they were placed, and of the method taken to prevent jealousies arising from the natural infirmity of the human heart, may serve to teach us that in all ages man hath been the same; all striving for pre-eminency. How blessed that sweet direction of Jesus, had we but grace to practice it: Whosoever will be great among you let him be your minister: and whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant!
