'''Jeduthun''' - lauder; praising - the name of two men in the [[Bible]].

* A [[Levite]] of the family of [[Merari]], and one of the three masters of music appointed by [[David]]. (1 Chr. 16:41, 42; 25:1-6) His office was generally to preside over the music of the temple service. Jeduthun's name stands at the head of [[Psalms]] [[Psalm 39|39]], [[Psalm 62|62]] and [[Psalm 77|77]], indicating probably that they were to be sung by his choir. Jeduthun and [[Heman (Bible)|Heman]] were responsible for the sounding of the trumpets and cymbals and for the playing of the other instruments for [[sacred song]]. (1 Chronicles 16:42).
* A Levite whose son or descendant [[Obed-Edom]] was a gatekeeper at the time David brought the [[Ark of the Covenant]] to [[Jerusalem]] (1 Chronicles 16:1).
