("assembly".) Levi's second son; came down to Egypt with Levi and Jacob (Ge 46:11). Died 133 years old (Ex 6:16,18).

They held high office as judges and rulers in things sacred and secular, and keepers of the dedicated treasures, and singers in the sanctuary (1Ch 26:23-32; 2Ch 20:19). Samuel was Kohathite, and therefore so was Heman the singer, Samuel's descendant. Their inheritance was in Manasseh, Ephraim, and Dan (1Ch 6:61-70; Jos 21:5,20-26).
