‏ 1 Chronicles 6:33-34

v. 33–38: Three leaders directed the singing: Heman from the family of Kohath, Asaph from Gershom, and Ethan from Merari. Each led their own group, so every Levite family was included. Heman, the grandson of Samuel, was a main singer. Even though Samuel’s son did not follow God, his grandson did. God sometimes blesses later generations when earlier ones fail. Heman’s position might have been a reward for Samuel’s faithfulness. Asaph, called Heman’s “brother” because of his similar job, led the group on Heman’s right. He wrote some psalms and helped lead worship (2 Chronicles 29:30 a). Ethan led the group on Heman’s left. All their family lines are traced back to Levi (1 Chronicles 6:33–47 b).
