He is primarily recognized in two contexts: as a wise man and as a musician associated with the Levitical choir. Lineage and Family Heman is identified as a descendant of Levi, the son of Jacob, through the line of Kohath. He is the son of Joel and the grandson of Samuel, the prophet and last judge of Israel. This lineage places Heman within the tribe of Levi, which was set apart for religious duties and service in the tabernacle and later the temple. Role as a Musician Heman is most prominently noted for his role as a musician and singer in the service of King David. He was appointed as one of the chief musicians, alongside Asaph and Ethan (also known as Jeduthun), to lead the musical worship in the tabernacle. This appointment is detailed in <a href="/1_chronicles/6-33.htm">1 Chronicles 6:33</a>, where Heman is described as "the musician, the son of Joel, the son of Samuel." Heman's role was significant in the establishment of organized worship in Israel. He was responsible for sounding the cymbals and leading the choir, contributing to the rich musical tradition that accompanied the worship of Yahweh. His involvement is further emphasized in <a href="/1_chronicles/15-16.htm">1 Chronicles 15:16-19</a>, where David instructs the leaders of the Levites to appoint their brothers as singers to sing joyful songs, accompanied by musical instruments. Wisdom and Reputation In addition to his musical contributions, Heman is noted for his wisdom. In <a href="/1_kings/4-31.htm">1 Kings 4:31</a>, Solomon's wisdom is compared to that of Heman, indicating that Heman was renowned for his understanding and insight. This comparison places Heman among the wisest men of his time, alongside Ethan the Ezrahite and others. Psalm 88 Heman is traditionally credited with the authorship of <a href="/bsb/psalms/88.htm">Psalm 88</a>, one of the most somber and lamenting psalms in the Psalter. The superscription of the psalm attributes it to "Heman the Ezrahite," though there is some debate among scholars regarding whether this Heman is the same as the Levitical musician. Regardless, the psalm reflects a deep sense of despair and a cry for deliverance, showcasing the emotional depth and spiritual insight attributed to Heman. Legacy Heman's legacy is multifaceted, encompassing his contributions to the worship practices of Israel, his reputation for wisdom, and his possible role as a psalmist. His dedication to the service of God through music and his standing as a wise man highlight the importance of both artistic expression and spiritual insight in the life of faith. Heman's influence is seen in the continued emphasis on music and worship in the Judeo-Christian tradition, underscoring the enduring impact of his service in the temple.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div>Hemantheir trouble; tumult; much; in great number<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>Heman(faithful) <ol> <li>Son of Zerah.
