Notes
This Ethan is likely the same person as the son of Zerah, son of Judah (1CH 2:6) given the matching names of his brothers. Ethan the "EZrahite" may be a scribal transposition of "ZErahite". Ethan the Ezrahite is also named as the author of Psalm 89. Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Commentary (1871) says they are the same individuals. Sons of Mahol is an appelative for "sons of dancing".
