What Does 1 Chronicles 15:17 Mean?
The Levites choose three principal singers, one from each great family: Heman, Asaph, and Ethan. These names appear again as authors of psalms, founders of Israel's enduring tradition of sung worship.
From this moment grows a heritage of praise that would fill the temple and the Psalter for generations. The God who appointed servants to bear His ark also raised up servants to lift His praise, so that worship in word and song became a lasting gift to His people.
