The setting
Jerusalem, ~715 BC. The roll call continues. Heman and Jeduthun were famous musicians from David's time, 300 years earlier. Their descendants probably wondered if they still remembered the songs...

The original word
Hêmān (הֵימָן) — faithful, reliable; one of the three chief musicians appointed by David
Why it matters
Heman was both a musician and a seer (prophet), combining worship and prophetic ministry
