(2.) One of those who repaired the walls of Jerusalem after the return from Babylon (Nehemiah 3:10).
(3.) Knowing Jehovah. The chief of one of the courses of the priests (1 Chronicles 24:7).
(4.) A priest in Jerusalem after the Exile (1 Chronicles 9:10).
•JEDIAEL known by God. (1.) One of the sons of Benjamin, whose descendants numbered 17,200 warriors (1 Chronicles 7:6, 10, 11).
(2.) A Shimrite, one of David’s bodyguard (1 Chronicles 11:45). Probably same as in 12:20.
(3.) A Korhite of the family of Ebiasaph, and one of the gate-keepers to the temple (1 Chronicles 26:2).
•JEDIDIAH beloved by Jehovah, the name which, by the mouth of Nathan, the Lord gave to Solomon at his birth as a token of the divine favour (2 Samuel 12:25).
•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 Psalm 39, 62, and 77, 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.
