6 All these men were under the supervision of their father for the music of the temple of the Lord, with cymbals, lyres and harps, for the ministry at the house of God.
Asaph, Jeduthun and Heman were under the supervision of the king.With today's chapter I got nothing and was wondering why God felt it was important to have a list of families who cast lots for their assignments.
Tom connected some dots I didn't but do appreciate his point--
One of the things I appreciate about journeying through God’s Message is the way you begin to connect the dots. The more you read it, the more things begin to connect. What casual observers and spotty readers often lament is that the Bible seems so disjointed and confusing. There is a storyline, and there are very complex connections from beginning to end, but you have to spend time journeying through the disparate parts to find the threads which connect.
In today’s chapter we learn that special worship assignments for God’s temple were given to three families. One of them, Asaph, rang a bell. Asaph was the composer of several songs in the book of Psalms. When reading Psalms you see “A Psalm of Asaph” and wonder who in the world Asaph was. You find out in the Chronicles.
Sometimes, you have to stick with a book for a while before it starts coming together for you.

I'm with you. It seems very trivial. But, with God even the tiny detail can blossom into something huge. His plan is immense.
