ETHAN . 1 . ‘The Ezrahite’ of 1 Kings 4:31 and Psalms 89:1-52 (title). In the first of these passages he is mentioned along with other contemporaries (?) of Solomon, who were all surpassed in wisdom by the Jewish monarch. In 1 Chronicles 2:6 he is said to have been a Judæan of the family of Zerah , which is prob. another form of Ezrah (hence the patronymic Ezrahite ). Instead of ‘the Ezrahite’ it has been proposed to render ’ezrâhî of 1 Kings 4:31 ‘the native,’ i.e . the Israelite , in opposition to some of the other wise men named, who were foreigners . 2 . An ancestor of Asaph ( 1 Chronicles 6:42 ), in 1 Chronicles 6:21 he is called Jonah 3 Jonah 3 Jonah 3 . The eponymous ancestor of a guild of Temple-singers ( 1 Chronicles 6:44; 1 Chronicles 15:17; 1 Chronicles 15:19 etc.).
