Kitto's Popular Cyclopedia of Biblical Literature

Heman, 1

He´man, a person of the tribe of Judah, named with others celebrated for their wisdom, to which that of Solomon is compared (; ). The considerations stated under Ethan will distinguish this Heman from the following, with whom he is sometimes confounded.

Heman, 2

Heman, a Kohathite of the tribe of Levi, and one of the leaders of the temple-music as organized by David (; ). This, doubtless, is the Heman who Psalms 88 is ascribed.
