1 Chronicles 6:33
And these are they that waited with their children. Of the sons of the Kohathites: Heman a singer, the son of Joel, the son of Shemuel, And these are they that waited with their children. Of the sons of the Kohathites: Heman a singer, the son of Joel, the son of Shemuel,
The line identifies those who waited in ministry together with their children, and among the sons of the Kohathites it names Heman the singer, the son of Joel, the son of Shemuel. It stands within the carefully preserved genealogical record of the tribes of Israel, specifically the Levitical genealogy that traces the families of the temple singers. Such registers were necessary after the exile to establish hereditary claims to land ownership and hereditary appointments to temple service. The care taken to preserve these family records reflects that God keeps a faithful record of every soul.
