Jeduthun: Lauder; praising, a Levite of the family of Merari, and one of the three masters of music appointed by David (1 Chronicles 16:41,42; 25:1-6) He is called in (2 Chronicles 35:15) "the king's seer." His descendants are mentioned as singers and players on instruments (Nehemiah 11:17) He was probably the same as Ethan (1 Chronicles 15:17,19) In the superscriptions to (Psalms 39:1) (Psalms 62:1; 77:1) the words "upon Jeduthun" probably denote a musical instrument; or they may denote the style or tune invented or introduced by Jeduthun, or that the psalm was to be sung by his choir.
