JEDUTHUN

(Heb. yĕḏûṯûn, yĕḏîṯûn)

1. The father of Obed-edom, who with his descendants were the Korahite levitical gatekeepers for the temple (1 Chr. 16:38, 42b; cf. 1 Chr. 26:1, 4, 8).

2. A levitical musician who served in David’s tabernacle (1 Chr. 16:41-42; 25:6) and Solomon’s temple (2 Chr. 5:12). Jeduthun is also described as the “king’s seer” (2 Chr. 35:15), just as his descendants were appointed to prophesy with musical instruments (1 Chr. 25:1, 3; cf. 2 Chr. 29:14). Frequent descriptions of Jeduthun in association with Asaph and Heman suggest that the name Ethan can be identified as Jeduthun (1 Chr. 15:17, 19). The occurrences of the name Jeduthun in the superscriptions of Pss. 39, 62, 77 may denote his musicianship in the Davidic era or a musical form or liturgical setting associated with his name or guild (cf. Ps. 89, , Ethan).

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
