Asaph
   convener, or collector. (1.) A Levite; one of the leaders of
   David's choir (1 Chr. 6:39). Psalms 50 and 73-83 inclusive are
   attributed to him. He is mentioned along with David as skilled
   in music, and a "seer" (2 Chr. 29:30). The "sons of Asaph,"
   mentioned in 1 Chr. 25:1, 2 Chr. 20:14, and Ezra 2:41, were his
   descendants, or more probably a class of poets or singers who
   recognized him as their master.
   
     (2.) The "recorder" in the time of Hezekiah (2 Kings 18:18,
   37).
   
     (3.) The "keeper of the king's forest," to whom Nehemiah
   requested from Artaxerxes a "letter" that he might give him
   timber for the temple at Jerusalem (Neh. 2:8).
