Quick answer
The line goes back through Tahath, Assir, Ebiasaph, and Korah. Heman's ancestry is traced to the family of Korah.
Overview
Strikingly, Heman the worship leader descended from Korah, the man who rebelled against Moses. Yet from that judged line God raised up singers and psalmists who led Israel in praise. This is a vivid display of grace, turning a heritage of rebellion into a ministry of worship.
