1 Chronicles 25:6-7
v. 6: The fathers Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun led this service, and their children learned from them (1 Chronicles 25:2, 3, 6 a). This is a good example for parents to teach their children to serve God, especially in praising Him. Young people should also respect and learn from their elders. Many believe Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun learned from Samuel in the schools of the prophets. Now, they were leaders themselves. Every generation should do their part for God, even if they do not see everything finished in their lifetime. God will continue the work through others after them. v. 7: There were also others, called their brethren, who were trained and skilled in the songs of the Lord . There were 288 experts, a good number to lead worship in the temple. Though there were 4,000 Levites set to praise God (1 Chronicles 23:5 b), only a small group led at the temple at one time. The rest likely served in groups throughout the country, so God’s praise could be sung everywhere, as Paul says, I want men everywhere to pray(1 Timothy 2:8 c).
