Read 1 Chronicles 25 in context

Scripture Focus

1Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their service was:

2Of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, which prophesied according to the order of the king.

3Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the LORD.

4Of Heman: the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamtiezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth:

5All these were the sons of Heman the king's seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

6All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, according to the king's order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.

1 Chronicles 25:1-6

Biblical Context

David and the leaders organize Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun to prophesy with harps, psalteries, and cymbals; their sons serve in the house of the Lord according to the king's order.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville’s sense, the names Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun symbolize inner faculties and states of consciousness that must be aligned within your mind. Asaph represents thanksgiving and praise that lift the heart; Jeduthun embodies the prophetic voice that speaks gratitude into form; Heman stands as the seer, the inner oracle who channels God’s word through sound and rhythm. When you align these inner faculties with the “king’s order”—the Law of your own I AM awareness—the house of the LORD becomes your temple of awareness, a sanctuary where inner music and revelation flow. God’s gift of numerous sons and daughters to Heman mirrors the abundance available when you sustain this alignment: a proliferation of inspired ideas, clear perception, and grateful action. The verse’s movement—appointing the choir, giving them instruments, and sending them to service—becomes a mental practice: you appoint your inner chorus, listen for its cadence, and let presence rise as the living proof of your own prophetic worship within.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, 'I am the king; I appoint my inner choir—Asaph for thanksgiving, Jeduthun for prophetic praise, Heman as seer.' Feel the realization rise as you imagine the inner music filling your mind and body for a minute, then move with the sense of presence throughout the day.
