King David set apart Asaph, Heman and Jeduthun for the ministry of prophesying accompanied by music in the temple. These 3 leaders each led their sons in musical prophesy and praise to the Lord. Clearly music in the temple was to be seen as a spiritual gift which communicates spiritual messages. The 3 leaders also included their relatives in a total of 288 skilled and trained musicians who cast lots for their order of duties in the temple. Thus temple worship was well organized and of a high standard. The temple music was to be provided by harps, lyres and cymbals.
