19 So those who made melody, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were put in position, with brass instruments, sounding loudly;
All these, under the direction of their father, made music in the house of the Lord, with brass and corded instruments, for the worship of the house of God; Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman being under the orders of the king.

"We did not go about our work considerately; and therefore we sped so ill.'

Note, also, When we have suffered for our irregularities we must learn thereby to be more regular; then we answer the end of chastisement. Let us see how the matter was mended.
