Kishi, also known as Kushaiah, was a Levite from the clan of Merari and the father of Jeduthun (or 'Ethan'), a prominent musician in King David's court.
Kishi (also called Kushaiah in 1 Chronicles 15:17) was a Levite of the clan of Merari and the father of Ethan (also called Jeduthun), one of the three master musicians appointed by David to lead worship (1 Chronicles 6:44; 15:17). Ethan's division under Kishi is recorded in the Merarite genealogical lists as a line of distinguished temple musicians. The variant names Kishi and Kushaiah likely reflect different manuscript traditions preserving the same individual.
