The leaders of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua, the son of Kadmiel, and their brothers, who stood opposite them to praise and give thanks, as the man of God David had commanded. [This form, in which a leader first sings a phrase and then the congregation/choir responds, is called antiphonal, see, for example, . The title "man of God" is used only here and in about David, and then always in connection with how the praise is organized.]
