Ezrahite [EBD]
a title given to Ethan (1 Kings 4:31; Ps. 89, title) and Heman (Ps. 88, title). They were both sons of Zerah (1 Chr. 2:6).
EZRAHITE [ISBE]
EZRAHITE - ez'-ra-hit ('ezrachi; Asebon): Found in 1 Ki 4:31; Psalms 88; 89, titles; from which it appears that the word is a patronymic for Ethan and Heman. It may be derived from Zerah, instead of Ezrah, seeing that there were an Ethan and a Heman who were descendants of Zerah, head of a Judahite family (1 Ch 2:6). There were also an Ethan and a Heman who were Levites (1 Ch 15:17).
