Commentary on 1 Chronicles 25:7

Theological / Devotional

Two hundred fourscore and eight. This number is 24 x 12; thus the 24 “sons” of Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman listed in vs. 2–4 must have been leading musicians, each of whom had associated with himself 11 other musicians. The 24 leaders may have accompanied the choirs under their direction with instrumental music.
