Asaph was one of the three prime musicians in David’s Tabernacle. He was a Levite, thus in the line of hereditary priests, although it is unknown whether he was actually a priest himself. He is apparently the ancestor of a long line of temple musicians known as the “Sons of Asaph.” Asaph is mentioned in the opening lines of Psalms 50 and 73–83. This means that either he wrote them, or they were in the style established by him, or they were composed by the guild bearing his name. Probably some of the twelve fall into each of these categories. When David had built the Tabernacle and brought the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem, it was accompanied by the musicians Asaph, Ethan, and Heman, representatives of the three major clans of the Levites. They sang and struck cymbals as the Ark entered the city, and thereafter Asaph was made the chief of the musicians who sang and played the harp and cymbals at formal ceremonies in the Tabernacle. Asaph’s music was considered prophetic (1 Chron. 25:1–2). Jahaziel, a temple musician and “a Levite and descendant of Asaph” (2 Chron. 20:14), used prophetic song to inspire Judah to defeat the Edomites. He is called “Asaph the seer” in 2 Chronicles 29:30. The guild of the “Sons of Asaph” was responsible for the music in the temple after the exile (Ezra 3:10)..
