Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
(trusty). (1) Son of Zerah (1 Chron. 2:6). (2) Grandson of Samuel (1 Chron. 6:33; 15:16-22; 25:5).
Concise Bible Dictionary:
1. Son of Zerah, or Mahol: he was renowned for his wisdom, which, however, was surpassed by that of Solomon (1 Kings 4:31; 1 Chron. 2:6).
2. Son of Joel, a Kohathite: he was both a seer and chief of the musicians in the sanctuary under David. His fourteen sons were also musicians (1 Chron. 6:33; 1 Chron. 15:17,19; 1 Chron. 16:41-42; 1 Chron. 25:1-6; 2 Chron. 5:12; 2 Chron. 29:14; 2 Chron. 35:15). Psalm 88 is ascribed to Heman the Ezrahite, who some think to be the same person, but (as in the margin of the AV) it more probably refers to No. 1.
