All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words and things of God to exalt Him; for God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters,

6 K o enei katoa he mea whakamahi na to ratou papa ki te waiata i te whare o Ihowa i runga i nga himipora, i te hatere, i te hapa, hei mahi ki te whare o te Atua, hei pera ano me ta te kingi i ki ai ki a Ahapa, ki a Ierutunu, ki a Hemana.
