(Heb. id. âַּãִּìְúַּé , whom I [Jehovah] have made great; Sept. Ãåääïëëáèß and Ãåääåëèß , Vulg. Geddelthi and Gedelthi), the ninth named of the four teen musical sons of Heman, and head of the twenty second course of Levitical musicians in the tabernacle under David (1Ch_25:4; 1Ch_25:29). B.C. 1013. The office of these brothers was to sound the horn in the Levitical orchestra (1Ch_25:5; 1Ch_25:7). Fürst (who reduces the sons of Heman to five) suggests (Heb. Lex. s.v.) that the appended "names probably formed together ( âָּãִìְúַé åְøֹîִîְúֹּé òֶæֶø îִìֹּåֹúַé äåֹúַéø îִçֲæַéàåֹú have dealt out fame and victorious help; I have spoken oracles in fulness) an old prophetic saying with which an oracle began, whose words were applied to the five [as soubriquets]; the tone itself [as a name it would regularly be Giddalti'] pointing to this explanation." SEE HEMAN.
