ETHAN

1. Wise man comparable to Solomon (1 Kgs 4:31 (RV · LV KI1 5:11 · Read together)) and probably the author of Psalm 89 (RV · LV PSA 89:2–53 · Read together). It is uncertain whether he was a contemporary of Solomon.

OET-RV KI1 4:31

31 He was wiser than anyone else, including Eytan the Ezrahi and Mahol’s son Heyman and Kalkol and Darda, and his reputation spread to all the surrounding countries.

OET-LV KI1 5:11

11  And_he_was_wise from_all the_humankind more_than_ʼĒytān the_Ezrachite and_Hēymān and_Kalkol and_Darda the_sons_of Mahol and_he/it_was his/its_name among_all_of the_nations around.

2. Descendant of Judah and son of Zerah (1 Chr 2:6 (RV · LV · Read together)), perhaps the same as #1 above. However, they are ascribed different fathers in the two passages.

4. Descendant of Levi through his son Merari, and the son of Kishi (1 Chr 6:44 (RV · LV CH1 6:29 · Read together)) or Kushaiah (15:17 (RV · LV · Read together)). He was one of three outstanding musicians, along with Heman and Asaph, appointed by David (vv 16-19 (RV · LV · Read together)). It was probably this Ethan whose name is ascribed in the title to Psalm 39 (RV · LV PSA 39:2–14 · Read together) (as “Jeduthun,” which he is called in 1 Chr 16:41 (RV · LV · Read together); 25:1 (RV · LV · Read together)) as “chief musician”; it is likely that he composed the music for the psalm.
