Exegesis

The verse employs an asyndetic list, emphasizing Asaph’s primacy as harōš {הָרֹאשׁ | hā-rōš} ‘chief’ followed by ū-mišnêhû {וּמִשְׁנֵהוּ | ū-mišnê-hû} ‘second in command’. The series of musicians is connected by the conjunction wâv, reflecting coordination without repetitive conjunctions among names.
