And it should come about that at the time of your coming there to the city, you will certainly meet a group of prophets+ coming down from the high place,+ and ahead of them a stringed instrument+ and tambourine+ and flute+ and harp,+ while they are speaking as prophets.

25 Further, David and the chiefs+ of the service groups+ separated for the service some of the sons of Aʹsaph, Heʹman+ and Je·duʹthun+ the ones prophesying with the harps,+ with the stringed instruments+ and with the cymbals.+ And from their number the official men for their service came to be.
