Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Chronicles 25:5

_ _ Heman the king’s seer — The title of “seer” or “prophet of David” is also given to Gad (1 Chronicles 21:9), and to Jeduthun (2 Chronicles 29:14, 2 Chronicles 29:15), in the words (Margin, “matters”) of God.

_ _ to lift up the horn — that is, to blow loudly in the worship of God; or perhaps it means nothing more than that he presided over the wind instruments, as Jeduthun over the harp. Heman had been appointed at first to serve at Gibeon (1 Chronicles 16:41). But his destination seems to have been changed at a subsequent period.

_ _ God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters — The daughters are mentioned, solely because from their musical taste and talents they formed part of the choir (Psalms 68:25).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Chronicles 25:1-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Chronicles 25:5

The king's seer — He is called the king's seer, either because the king took special delight in him; or because he frequently attended the king in his palace, executing his sacred office there, while the rest were employed in the tabernacle. In the words — To sing Divine songs as were inspired by God to the prophets or holy men of God. The horn — To praise God with the sound of a trumpet or some other musical instrument made of horn, which being a martial kind of music, might be most grateful to David's martial spirit: tho' he was also skilled in other instruments of music which he used in the house of God.
