Hothir

Hothir was one of fourteen sons of Heman the singer, all of whom were appointed by King David to lead the musical worship of the temple (1 Chronicles 25:4). Heman's sons were regarded as the king's seers through music, and they were assigned twenty-one divisions by lot for the temple service (1 Chronicles 25:28). Hothir's role as a temple musician places him within one of the most carefully organized dimensions of Israelite worship, where music was understood as an act of prophecy and praise before God.
