The singers Heman, Asaph, and Ethan with their brothers, the doorkeepers for the ark, and the priests who blow the trumpets

노래하는 자 헤만과 아삽과 에단과 그 형제와 궤 앞에서 문을 지키는 자와 나팔을 부는 제사장

1 Chronicles 15:16–24: David speaks to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brothers as singers with instruments of music, stringed instruments, harps, and cymbals, sounding aloud and lifting up their voices with joy. So the Levites appoint Heman the son of Joel; and of his brothers, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brothers, Ethan the son of Kushaiah; and with them their brothers of the second rank, from Zechariah to “Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, the doorkeepers”. The text says, “So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were given cymbals of bronze to sound aloud”, names those with stringed instruments set to Alamoth (15:20) and those with harps tuned to the eight-stringed lyre, to lead (15:21), and goes on, “Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the singing. He taught the singers, because he was skillful. Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark. Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, blew the trumpets before God’s ark; and Obed-Edom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.” The text gives no total. The Korean Revised Version gives David’s command in his own words (… 즐거운 소리를 크게 내라 하매, 15:16), sets 문지기, doorkeepers, before Obed-Edom and Jeiel (15:18), and reads 여청 for “Alamoth” (15:20), 여덟째 음에 맞추어, set to the eighth note, for “tuned to the eight-stringed lyre” (15:21), and 노래에 익숙하므로 노래를 주장하여 사람에게 가르치는 자요, Chenaniah, skilled in song, was over the singing and taught others (15:22).
