5. Heman the king’s seer. Among David’s seers were Gad (1 Chron. 21:9), Jeduthun (2 Chron. 35:15), and Asaph (2 Chron. 29:30).
To lift up the horn. A well-known Hebrew metaphor meaning to exalt a person or to increase his power (see 1 Sam. 2:10; Ps. 89:17; 92:10). Thus the meaning here would seem to be that the Lord had exalted Heman by giving him 14 sons and 3 daughters.
