Quick answer
Levites from the lines of Heman and Jeduthun also come forward. The roll of musical families completes the gathering of those who will lead worship.
Overview
The Chronicler names Levites from Heman and Jeduthun, the other great families of temple singers appointed in David's time. Their presence ensures that the renewed temple service will be marked by praise as well as sacrifice. The restoration of music in worship points to the new song of God's redeemed people, who praise Him for salvation in Christ.
