41. The singers] The Levitical order of singers was instituted in David’s time (1Ch_15:17-24). There seem to have been 24 classes of singers (1Ch_25:9-31). But the three great guilds of singers were called after the names of Heman the Kohathite, Asaph the Gershomite, and Jeduthun the Merarite (1Ch_6:33-47; 1Ch_25:1-7).
Asaph] No members of the Heman and Jeduthun guilds seem to have returned. Four of the 24 classes of singers were called after the sons of Asaph, i.e. the first, Joseph: the third, Zaccur: the fifth, Nethaniah: the seventh, Jesharelah (1Ch_25:2; 1Ch_25:9-10; 1Ch_25:12; 1Ch_25:14). Asaph himself enjoyed a great reputation as a Psalmist (cf. 2Ch_29:30, Neh_12:46). The inscriptions of certain Psalms attribute their composition to Asaph (Psalms 50, 73-83).

2:41-42 The singers played instruments and sang for worship at the Temple (1 Chr 25:1-31; Pss 73–83) while the gatekeepers regulated the Temple gates and storehouses (1 Chr 9:26-27; 2 Chr 23:19; Neh 12:25). • Asaph was one of the three Levites David had appointed to conduct music at the Temple (1 Chr 16:5, 7), and he wrote a collection of psalms (Pss 50, 73–83). His family carried on his work (1 Chr 25:1-7).
