Ethan the Merarite (Levitical singer)

Description

Merarite Levite; one of the three chief singers under David alongside Asaph and Heman. Distinct from Ethan the Ezrahite, the wise man of 1 Kings 4:31. The Ethan in Psalm 89's title is generally identified with the wise man, not this singer.

Notes

1 Chronicles 16:41-42 and elsewhere replace Ethan with Jeduthun in the singer triad; many treat Ethan and Jeduthun as the same Merarite chief.
