mal´ṓ - thı̄ , ma - lō´thı̄ ( מלּותי , mallōthı̄ , "my discourse"): Son of Heman, a Kohathite singer ( 1 Chronicles 6:33; 1 Chronicles 25:4 ). The song service in the house of the Lord was apportioned by David and the captains of the host to the 3 families of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun (1 Chronicles 25:1 ). Their place in the "courses" was, however, settled by "lot" (1 Chronicles 25:8 , 1 Chronicles 25:9 ). Mallothi was one of Heman's 17 children - 14 sons and 3 daughters (1 Chronicles 25:5 ) - and was chief of the 19th course of twelve singers into which the temple choir was divided (1 Chronicles 25:26 ).
The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (ISBE) was edited by James Orr, John Nuelsen, Edgar Mullins, Morris Evans, and Melvin Grove Kyle and was published complete in 1939. This web site includes the complete text.
WikipediaThe ISBE is a classic Bible reference compiled from nearly 10,000 entries written by over 200 different Bible scholars and teachers. In addition to the encyclopedia articles, all of the major words of the Bible are represented and defined.
The historical, cultural, and linguistic information in the ISBE can be of great value in Bible study and research.
But as with any writings of men, the careful student of the Bible must always compare them with Scripture. As you use this helpful study resource, remember that only God's word is pure.
