Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Chronicles 25:5

5 All these were the sons of Heman the kings seer in the words of God , to lift up the horn . And God gave to Heman fourteen sons, and three daughters.

Or, Prophet, which is the same thing, 1 Sam. 9. 9. Either he was a Prophet as well as a Singer: or he is thus called because he prophesied in the sence designed, v. 1. And he is called the kings seer, either because the King took special Delight in him: or because he fiequently attended upon the King in his Palace, executing his Sacred Office there, while the rest were constantly employed in the Tabernacle.

i. e. To sing such Divine Songs as were inspired by God to the Prophets or Holy Men of God.

Either 1. Metaphorically, to extol and praise God for exalting the horn, (i. e. the Power and Kingdom) of David; of which Phrase see Psal. 92. 10. & 132. 17. Or rather 2. properly, to praise God with the sound of a Trumpet (as was usual, as 2 Chron. 5. 12. & 13. 12.) or some other Musical Instrument made of Horn, which being a Martial kind of Musick, might be most grateful to Davids Martial Spirit: though he was also skilled in other Instruments of Musick which he used in the House of God, as is expressed in the next Verse.
