2. A Levite, son of Kishi, and one of the three masters of the temple music, 1 Chronicles 6:44 15:17-19. He would seem to be the same as Jeduthun, 1 Chronicles 25:1 2 Chronicles 35:15.

Firm.

(1.) "The Ezrahite," distinguished for his wisdom (1 Kings 4:31). He is named as the author of the 89th Psalm. He was of the tribe of Levi.

(2.) A Levite of the family of Merari, one of the leaders of the temple music (1 Chronicles 6:44; 15:17, 19). He was probably the same as Jeduthun. He is supposed by some to be the same also as (1).
