ASAPH ā’ săf (אָסָ֖ף, collecter or gatherer).
1.
The most prominent person bearing this name was Asaph, son of Berachiah, of the family of Gershom, who headed the service of music in the reigns of David and Solomon (1 Chron 6:39; 15:17; 16:5; 2 Chron 5:12).
Superscriptions of twelve psalms (Ps.
50, 73-83) indicate Asaphic authorship.
The style of Asaph is distinctive, forceful, and spiritual.
He is referred to as a prophet and poet (2 Chron 29:30; Neh 12:46).
He was one of David’s three musicians along with Heman and Ethan or Jeduthun.
Asaph is first mentioned when the Ark of the covenant was transferred to Jerusalem from the home of Obed-edom (1 Chron 15:16-19).
He led the service of music in the tent where the Ark was kept (1 Chron 16:4, 5, 7, 37).
Four of Asaph’s sons conducted under him and participated in the dedication of the Temple (2 Chron 5:12).
The “sons of Asaph” are mentioned as choristers in the Temple (1 Chron 25:1; 2 Chron 20:14).
From all indications, in addition to leading the singing and sounding the cymbals before the Ark, Asaph headed a school of music, where his children are said to number 148 (Neh 7:44).
Some 128 of his family returned from Babylon (Ezra 2:41) and served in Zerubbabel’s temple (Ezra 3:10).
The sons of Asaph of later times formed a guild and were prominent in the revivals of the nation’s faith.
They shared the ministry of music with the sons of Korah in the later period of OT history.
