Our chapter enumerates the Levitical families of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, who served as musicians and singers in the Temple and who are familiar to us because several chapters of Psalms bear their names. In our introduction to that book, we mentioned the opinion of Sa`adyah Gaon (882-942) that David was the sole\u2014and prophetic\u2014author of the psalms and that Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun were Levites to whom he delivered his poetic compositions to be put to music and sung. That opinion can be challenged by the use here of the verb \u201cto prophesy\u201d (<\/span>niba<\/span><\/em>\u2019<\/span><\/i>) in conjunction with their musical activities (1,2,3), which may imply that their activities, like those of other classical prophets, were also literary.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

That appears to be the approach of Pseudo-Rashi, who wrote: \u201cWhen they played those musical instruments, they would prophesy, similar to Elisha [who said], \u2018Get me a musician. When the musician played, the Hand of God came upon him\u2019 (2 Kings 3:15).\u201d Ralbag, too, wrote: \u201cIt appears that these three were prophets, as indicated by the assignment to them of several songs in the Book of Psalms.\u201d Radak, however, who generally inclined towards accepting the views of Sa`adyah Gaon, was somewhat more circumspect, writing: \u201cThe Sons of Asaph would play musical instruments, while Asaph, who would be enveloped in the Holy Spirit, would sing to the musical accompaniment of the harps.\u201d Malbim is less ambiguous: \u201cSong is called prophecy because they would use lofty, divine words.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Robert Alter\u2019s approach combined several of the medieval insights with a more contemporary, psychological view, seeing prophecy as a form of religious ecstasy.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

From several reports in the Book of Samuel, we know that wandering bands of prophets in the early biblical period used musical instruments to work themselves into a vatic frenzy... In their case, the verb for immersing in ecstasy is the same root [<\/span>n-b-\u2019<\/span><\/em>] but in reflexive conjugation\u2026 One may infer a kind of domestication of ecstasy in the temple music: it induced an elevated state, and the words sung\u2014probably the set words of psalms\u2014were regarded as a kind of gateway to the sacred.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cDavid and the officers of the army set apart for service the sons of Asaph, of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who prophesied to the accompaniment of lyres, harps, and cymbals. The list of men who performed this work, according to their service, was:\/\/Sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asarelah\u2014sons of Asaph under the charge of Asaph, who prophesied by order of the king\u201d (verses 1-2).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

What do these verses mean when they say that the children of Asaph prophesied by music?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Rashi explains that they would play music, and that would cause them to prophesize. This is similar to what happened with the prophet Elisha: \u201c\u2019And now fetch me a musician.\u2019 And when the musician played, the hand of the Lord came upon him\u201d (II Kings 3:15).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Radak explains that this prophecy of song refers to the various psalms written by the Asaph clan. These psalms include visions of the future seen through the spirit of God.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ralbag posits that the use of the term \u201cprophecy\u201d here is not literal, but that they were so skilled with musical instruments, that when they played songs of praise to God it provided a spiritual experience for the listener. (Although Ralbag does think the verse should be taken literally that they were actually prophets).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Malbim has a similar interpretation that the poetry of their songs was so sophisticated that it reached divine levels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

We know from the book of Psalms and David\u2019s youth with Saul that he was also a skilled musician. When the text states that they prophesied through song \u201cby the order of the king\u201d and that he \u201cset apart for service the sons of Asaph\u201d it must have meant that David was able to see this similar skill present in the family of Asaph.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In previous chapters we learned of the 24 administrative units that King David set up to work, in rotation in the Holy Temple. That pool of Priests and Levites numbered in the thousands. In Chapter 25 we learn that an additional 288 musicians from the tribe of Levi were appointed, in 24 groups of 12, to work alongside the administrative units at all times. A full chapter of Chronicles is dedicated to describing the musicians, their instruments, and their musical tutelage. How extraordinary that music was not just understood as a beautification of Temple service, but a necessary component.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The first verse of Chronicles 25 clarifies the job of musicians. It does not say that they \u201cplayed\u201d their instruments, but that they \u201cprophesied while using harps, lyre and cymbals.\u201d The music of the Levites was not an accompaniment to Temple service, it was service in its own right. Our sages point out that the word for \u201cprophecy\u201d is derived from the root \u201cniv\u201d referring to speech. Just as speech was the mode of expression for our prophets, so too was music the mode of expression for the Levites.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Most of the text in this chapter is taken up with lists of names, consistent with much of the first Book of Chronicles. Rabbi Menachem Leibtag of outorah.org points out a fascinating divergence in the names of the 14 sons of Heman that are detailed. The first six sons have common names for that era, but the remaining eight sons have names that have never appeared before and never appear again in Tanach. The names do, however, mirror text found in the first chapter of The Book of Isaiah.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The opening prophecies of Isaiah, given well into the First Temple era, serve as a warning that the nation is in trouble, and their Temple itself in jeopardy. Among the most obvious use of these names in Isaiah\u2019s prophecy are the names Giddalti and Romamti. \u201cChildren I have <\/span>raised and exalted \u2013 gidalti v\u2019romamti<\/span><\/em> have rebelled against me\u201d declares God through Isaiah\u2019s (Isaiah 1:2). The prophecy continues to speak of the city that was one \u201c<\/span>filled with justice \u2013 maloti mishpat<\/span><\/em>\u201d that has now lost its way (Isaiah 1:21), mirroring the name of the son Mallothi in this chapter of Chronicles. Then comes the rebuke of the people who are using the Temple for the wrong purposes with the phrase \u201cmi <\/em><\/span>bakesh<\/span> zot \u2013 who <\/span>requested<\/span> this of you<\/span><\/em> (Isaiah 1:12)?\u201d \u201c<\/span>Mi bakesh<\/span><\/em>\u201d invokes the name of Yoshbekashah from this chapter of 1 Chronicles.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Rabbi Leibtag highlights this alignment of names in 1 Chronicles to later language in Isaiah to demonstrate the connectivity of Tanach. What David sets in place, Isaiah reaches back to in his prophecy for the future. (For more examples of the reflection of these names in Isaiah, refer to<\/span> Rabbi Leibtag\u2019s recording on outorah.org<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

25:1 \u201cAnd David and the officers of the army set apart for the service the sons of Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun who prophesied with lyres and lutes and cymbals\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The verb here is a little surprising. From several reports in the Book of Samuel, we know that wandering bands of prophets in the early biblical period used musical instruments to work themselves into a vatic frenzy (a phenomenon that can still be observed among \u201cHoly Rollers\u201d in the United States). In this case, the verb for immersing in ecstasy is the same root but in reflexive conjugation. Here, the passive conjugation (<\/span>nif\u2019al<\/span><\/em>) occurs, which is the form used when the so-called Literary Prophets deliver their message. One may infer a kind of domestication of ecstasy in the temple music: it induced an elevated state, and the words sung--probably the set words of psalms--were regarded as a kind of gateway to the sacred. Thus in verse 3, Jeduthun is said to be \u201cprophesying with the lyre, acclaiming and praising the LORD,\u201d and those paired verbs appear regular in the psalms of praise.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
