Jeduthun — Levitical musician and choirmaster appointed by David for temple worship
A proper name designating one of David's three chief musicians, alongside Asaph and Heman. Jeduthun (also spelled Yedutun or Yedithun) led one of the three Levitical temple choirs and is called 'the king's seer' in 2 Chronicles 35:15. His name appears in the superscriptions of Psalms 39, 62, and 77, likely indicating a musical style or tradition associated with his choir. His descendants continued the family's liturgical vocation for generations, forming a perpetual guild of temple singers (1 Chr 16:41–42; 25:1–6; 2 Chr 29:14).

1. Jeduthun (proper name) — The personal name Jeduthun (יְדוּתוּן / יְדֻתוּן / יְדִיתוּן), identifying a Levitical choirmaster appointed by David. All 20 occurrences appear in Chronicles, Nehemiah, and Psalm superscriptions. Spanish renders 'Jedutún/Yedutun,' French and German 'Jeduthun/Jedutun.' The spelling variations (with and without yod, with holam or qibbuts) reflect dialectal or scribal fluidity rather than different individuals — the referent is consistently one musician-seer and his liturgical dynasty. 20×
