Jed'uthun. (praising). A Levite, of the family of Merari, is probably the same as Ethan. Compare 1 Chronicles 15:17; 1 Chronicles 15:19 with 1 Chronicles 16:41-42; 1 Chronicles 25:1; 1 Chronicles 25:3; 1 Chronicles 25:6; 2 Chronicles 35:15. His office was generally to preside over the music of the Temple service, Jeduthun's name stands at the head of the 39th, 62nd and 77th Psalms, Psalms 39:1; Psalms 62:1; Psalms 77:1, indicating, probably, that they were to be sung, by his choir. (B.C. 1014).
