JEDUTHUN.An unintelligible name having to do with the music or the musicians of the Temple. According to 1Ch_25:1 etc., it was the name of one of the three musical guilds, and it appears in some passages to mask the name Ethan. Jeduthun (Jedithun) occurs in the headings of Psa_39:1-13; Psa_62:1-12; Psa_77:1-20, and appears to refer to an instrument or to a tune. But in our ignorance of Hebrew music it is impossible to do more than guess what Jeduthun really meant.

JEDITTHUN; ("who gives praises".) 1Ch_16:38; Psalm 39, 62, 77, titles, implying that these psalms were to be sung by Jeduthun's choir; Neh_11:17. Jeduthun presided over a choir under David. "The sons of Jeduthun" had the office to "prophesy with the harp, to give thanks, and to praise the Lord" (1Ch_25:1; 1Ch_25:3). He wasa Merarite Levite, along with the Kohathite Heman and the Gershonite Asaph directing the music of the sanctuary; 4,000 in all, divided into courses, "praising the Lord with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith" (1Ch_23:5-6). Identical with Ethan the Merarite (1Ch_6:44; 1Ch_15:17; 1Ch_15:19); for as there was one Kohathite and one Gershonite, head of musicians, so there would be only one Merarite head. (See ETHAN.)
That Jeduthun was a Merarite appears from Hosah his son (1Ch_16:38; 1Ch_16:42) being a Merarite (1Ch_26:10). Compare also 1Ch_15:17; 1Ch_15:19 with 1Ch_16:41-42; 1Ch_25:1; 1Ch_25:3; 1Ch_25:6; 2Ch_35:15, where he is called the "king's seer," i.e. being under the Spirit's influence. He sounded the cymbals of brass, marking time, while those under him played the harp (Psa_150:5). The trumpets were peculiar to the priests. Asaph and his brethren ministered before the ark at Jerusalem, Jeduthun and Heman "before the tabernacle of Jehovah in the high place at Gibeon." His sons were six of them prophesiers with the harp, and two of them, Obed Edom and Hosah, gatekeepers.
Jeduthun's singers with Asaph's and Heman's (namely, their sons and brethren), arrayed in white linen, officiated at the E. end of the altar, having cymbals, psalteries, and harps, at the dedication of Solomon's temple; and it was "when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord," with trumpets, cymbals, and instruments accompanying the voices praising the Lord "for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever," that the house of the Lord was filled with the cloud of glory (2Ch_5:13-14; compare 2Ch_20:21-22). Praise is a most effective way of obtaining God's help. In Hezekiah's reign (2Ch_29:13-14), again in Josiah's (2Ch_35:15), lastly under Nehemiah (Neh_11:17), Jeduthun's choir or descendants officiated in the sanctuary music.

Jed'uthun. (praising). A Levite, of the family of Merari, is probably the same as Ethan. Compare 1Ch_15:17; 1Ch_15:19 with 1Ch_16:41-42; 1Ch_25:1; 1Ch_25:3; 1Ch_25:6; 2Ch_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, Psa_39:1; Psa_62:1; Psa_77:1, indicating, probably, that they were to be sung, by his choir. (B.C. 1014).
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863
a Levite of Merari's family, and one of the four great masters of music belonging to the temple, 1Ch_16:38; 1Ch_16:41-42; 1Ch_15:17; Psalms 89, title. He is the same as Ethan. Some of the Psalms are said to have been composed by him; such as the eighty-ninth, thirty-ninth, sixty-second, seventy-seventh; all of which go under his name. Some believe, that David, having composed these Psalms, gave them to Jeduthun and his company to sing; and that this is the reason of their going by this name. But there are some Psalms which have the name of Jeduthun, that seem to have been composed either during the captivity, or after it; and consequently the name of Jeduthun prefixed to them, can signify nothing else, but that some of his descendants, and of Jeduthun's class, composed them long after the death of the famous Jeduthun, one of their ancestors.

(Hebrew Yeduthun', ידוּתוּןor יְדֻתוּן; also יְדַיתוּן, Yedithun', in 1Ch_16:38; Neh_11:17; Psalms 30, 77, titles; lauder; Sept.

From a comparison of 1Ch_15:17; 1Ch_15:19, with 1Ch_16:41-42; 1Ch_25:1; 1Ch_25:3; 1Ch_25:6; 2Ch_35:15, some infer that he was identical with ETHAN SEE ETHAN (q.v.). In 2Ch_35:15, he bears the title of the king's seer. His sons sometimes appear as exercising the same office (1Ch_25:1; 1Ch_25:3), at others as door-keepers of the sacred edifice (1Ch_16:42). His name is also put for his descendants (Jeduthunites, a sons of Jeduthun), who occur later as singers and players on instruments (2Ch_35:15; Neh_11:17). In the latter signification it occurs in the superscriptions to Psalms 39, 62, 77; but Aben- Ezra supposes it to denote here a species of song, and Jarchi a musical instrument. The form of the phrase (עִל יְדֻתוּן, upon Jeduthun) favors the latter interpretation (Gesenius, Thes. Heb. p. 569), indicating a kind of instrumental music, or perhaps a style or tune of performance (Ewald, ieb. Poesie p. 176) invented or introduced by Jeduthun; a conclusion strengthened by finding a phrase indicative of authorship (לַידוּתוּן, to Jeduthun, i.e. composed by him); ascribed in a similar connection (Psalms 39, title), since he is elsewhere recognized as an inspired character (2Ch_35:15).
