Gill's Notes on the Bible
All these were the sons of Heman, the king's seer,.... The prophet of the king, as the Targum, who was frequently with him, assisting him
in the words of God: in divine things:
to lift up the horn; to blow with the hornpipe or trumpet, and to magnify and set forth the greatness of the kingdom of Israel, and especially of the King Messiah, the horn of salvation, that would be raised up in the house of David:
and God gave to Heman fourteen sons; whose names are before mentioned:
and three daughters; of whom we have no more account, only may observe, that both are the gifts of God, and an heritage from him, Psalms 127:3.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
To lift up the horn - Some take this literally, and consider that Heman and his sons played on the born in the musical services; but there is no other evidence that the horn was so employed. Perhaps the most probable explanation is that it has been transferred from the next clause, where (as here) it followed the word âGod,â with the sense that âGod, to exalt Hemanâs horn (or, increase his dignity), gave him fourteen sons and three daughters.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Chronicles 25:5. To lift up the horn — "The horn of prophecy," says Jarchi; "to sound with the trumpet in the words of prophecy before the Lord."-T.
Three daughters. — These also were employed among the singers.
