The sons of Zerah: Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Calcol and Dara: five in all.

The sons of Ethan: Azariah.

the son of Ethan, the son of Zimmah, the son of Shimei,

And their brethren the sons of Merari stood on the left hand: Ethan the son of Kishi, the son of Abdi, the son of Malluch,

And the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel: and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Barachiah. And of the sons of Merari, their brethren: Ethan the son of Kushaiah.

Heman, Asaph and Ethan sang with cymbals of brass to make a sound.

{An Instruction of Ethan the Ezrahite} My song shall be always of the loving-kindness of the LORD; with my mouth will I ever be showing thy faithfulness from one generation to another.

Behold, like as the Lion cometh up from the pleasant meadows of Jordan unto the green pastures of Ethan, so will I drive them forth, and make them run against her. But whom shall I choose out, and ordain to such a thing? For who is like me, or who will strive with me? Or what shepherd may stand against me?
