Contextual Overview
1 David built houses for himself in the city of David. He made a place ready for the special box of God. And he set up a tent for it. 2 Then David said, "No one but the Levites may carry the special box of God. For the Lord chose them to carry the special box of the agreement and to serve Him forever." 3 David gathered all Israel together at Jerusalem, to bring up the special box of the Lord to the place he had made for it. 4 He gathered together the sons of Aaron and the Levites. 5 Uriel became leader of the sons of Kohath, and 120 of his brothers. 6 Asaiah became the leader of the sons of Merari, and 220 of his brothers. 7 Joel became the leader of the sons of Gershom, and 130 of his brothers. 8 Shemaiah became the leader of the sons of Elizaphan, and 200 of his brothers. 9 Eliel became the leader of the sons of Hebron, and 80 of his brothers. 10 Amminadab became the leader of the sons of Uzziel, and 112 of his brothers.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan,.... The three principal of them: these were appointed
to sound with cymbals of brass; for as there were three sorts of musical instruments, 1 Chronicles 15:16 these three chief singers had one of those instruments appropriated to them, one of which were the cymbals of brass, to which the apostle alludes, 1 Corinthians 13:1.
