However, the concept of musical praise and worship is echoed in various Greek terms related to worship and praise, such as ὕμνος (hymnos, Strong's Greek 5215) for "hymn" or "song of praise." Usage: Jeduthun is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to a Levite musician and one of the chief singers appointed by King David for the worship in the temple. Context: Jeduthun is a significant figure in the musical worship of ancient Israel. He is mentioned as one of the chief musicians appointed by King David to lead in the worship of the LORD. His role was crucial in the organization of temple worship, particularly in the ministry of music. Jeduthun, along with Asaph and Heman, was responsible for prophesying with lyres, harps, and cymbals (1 Chronicles 25:1). The sons of Jeduthun were also involved in the musical service, indicating that his legacy continued through his descendants (1 Chronicles 25:3). The Psalms often mention Jeduthun in the titles, suggesting that some psalms were either composed by him or dedicated to him, such as Psalm 39, Psalm 62, and Psalm 77. These references highlight his influence and the esteem in which he was held in the liturgical traditions of Israel.
