Which Psalm did Asaph write in the Bible?

Answer 1

There are atleast three Asaphs listed in The Bible.

1. Music director. During King David's reign(1077-1038BCE), Asaph was a descendant of Levi through Gershom(1 Chronicles 6:39+43), a prophet, a singer/songwriter, player of cymbols(1 Chronicles 15:19) and a director of music in the tabernacle who 'prophesied on the harp'(1 Chronicles 25:1-6/2Chronicles 29:30/35:15). The book of Psalms was the Hebrew songbook for the temple, and Asaph and his descendants, are credited with writing Psalm 50, and Psalms 73-83).

2. Gatekeeper. Another 'son of Levi' through Kohath, who's family were gatekeepers at the tabernacle.(1 Chronicles 26:1)0

3. Keeper of the Park. When Nehemiah returned to rebuild Jerusalem(455BCE), Asaph was the grounds' keeper for King Artaxerxes' wooded park area, possibly in Lebanon(Nehemiah 2:8)

Answer 2

Asa, the grandson of Rehoboam, was Judah's 3rd king after the division of the northern and southern kingdoms and he ruled for forty-one years (977-937 BCE).(1Kings 15:8-10). He had a real zeal for true worship during his reign and cleaned out alot of the apostasy that had taken over following the split, (1Kings 15:11-13)(2 Chronicles 14:2-5) ,though he failed in certain areas (1 Kings 15:14 / 2 Chronicles 15:17) (2Chronicles 14:1, 6)(2Chronicles 16:7-11).

Even though he was foolish at times, he fought for an end to apostasy and is overall considered one of the faithful kings of Judah (2Chronicles 15:17). When he died, his son Jehoshaphat inherited the kingship.(1Kings 15:24).

Answer 3

It looks as if there are two or three different Asaph's.

In II Kings it seems as if he could be a recorder, or scribe.

In Chronicles he is listed as a singer.

An Asaph, probably the one from Chronicles, wrote several Psalms.

The listing in II Kings it could be that Asaph was the recorder, or the father of Joah who was the recorder.
