Ethan the Ezrahite was a wise man during the time of King Solomon. He was known for his wisdom, although not as wise as Solomon himself (1Ki 4:31). Ethan was also a skilled musician and is credited with authoring Psalm 89, a psalm that reflects on God's covenant with David and the challenges faced by the Davidic dynasty (Psalm 1Ki 89:1). The psalm demonstrates Ethan's deep understanding of God's faithfulness and sovereignty.
