Teaching Our
Own to Minister Musically—part 2
The
Twenty-fifth chapter of I Chronicles is a musical discourse on ancient Levite
musical training. This wonderful chapter
gives us vivid insights into the philosophical musical practice of the Chief
Levite musicians. Verse one states:
Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of
the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with
harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals...
Notice that the King and his captains decreed
that the sons of the three Chief Levite musicians should be separated (badal 914-to divide or select) to serve
Jehovah through music making. They were
separated to prophesy or deliver God’s message to the congregation through
music performance.
