旧约 - 历代记上(1 Chronicles)第25章

David, together with the commanders of the army, set apart some of the sons of Asaph, Heman and Jeduthun for the ministry of prophesying, accompanied by harps, lyres and cymbals. Here is the list of the men who performed this service:
From the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah and Asarelah. The sons of Asaph were under the supervision of Asaph, who prophesied under the king's supervision.
As for Jeduthun, from his sons: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah and Mattithiah, six in all, under the supervision of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied, using the harp in thanking and praising the LORD.
As for Heman, from his sons: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shubael and Jerimoth; Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti and Romamti-Ezer; Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir and Mahazioth.
All these were sons of Heman the king's seer. They were given him through the promises of God to exalt him. God gave Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.
All these men were under the supervision of their fathers for the music of the temple of the LORD, with cymbals, lyres and harps, for the ministry at the house of God. Asaph, Jeduthun and Heman were under the supervision of the king.
Along with their relatives--all of them trained and skilled in music for the LORD--they numbered 288.
Young and old alike, teacher as well as student, cast lots for their duties.

历代志上第廿五章   第 25 章 

  代上 25:1> 今天我要向人传什么信息? 

  25:1 说预言不但讲述未来的事,也包括唱诗颂赞神与传扬祂的信息(参林前 14 章)。作先知的可能是乐师、农夫(参摩 1:1 )、主妇(参王下 22:14 )或领袖(参申 34:10 )──凡是勇敢、准确地代神传言,想领人民回转敬拜祂的人,都可以作先知。大卫从许多歌唱者与乐师之中,选出这一班才华出众的人来向别人传颂神,并以音乐鼓舞人心。 

  代上 25:1-7> 在教会敬拜中,我是敬拜者,抑或只是观众? 

  25:1-7 在帐幕之中有许多方式可以敬拜神。有些人说预言和唱歌( 25:1 ),有人称谢颂赞神( 25:3 ),也有人吹奏乐器( 25:6-7 ),神要全体的子民都敬拜祂。你可能不是音乐家,不是先知教师,但是凡你所献上的一切,神都会悦纳。你要发展自己的特殊才华来事奉神(参罗 12:3-8 ;林前 12:29-31 )。 

  代上 25:9-31> 大卫建立班次管理圣殿,给我们的事奉有何启示? 

  25:9-31 大卫将歌者、乐手分为二十四班,与祭司的二十四班相配合( 24:7-15 )。这种任职的班次,使圣殿的管理有条不紊,训练人员卓有功效,并令敬拜神的方式多采多姿。因为每一班都任职一个短期,就能让更多人有参与的机会。──《灵修版圣经注释》
