🏔️ 1 Chronicles 25

1 Chronicles 25 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Moreover, David and the captains of the army set apart for the service certain of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who were to prophesy with harps, with stringed instruments, and with cymbals. The number of those who did the work according to their service was:” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “the ninth to Mattaniah, his sons and his brothers, twelve;” 1 Chronicles 25 opens with these words: “Moreover, David and the captains of the army set apart for the service certain of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who…” The line to keep is 1 Chronicles 25:5: “All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.” Carry the word “sons” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is 1 Chronicles 25:5: “All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in 1 Chronicles 25? Then try this: Read “All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. God gave to Heman…” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
