Giddalti was one of the sons of Heman, appointed by King David as a temple musician to prophesy with lyres, harps, and cymbals.
Giddalti was a Levite musician and a son of Heman, David's royal seer, who was appointed to lead one of the twenty-four musical courses established for temple worship (1 Chronicles 25:4, 29). He and his brothers served under their father's direction, 'under the supervision of the king,' prophesying with lyres, harps, and cymbals. His course was the twenty-second in the rotation, and his family of twelve sons and daughters participated in the sacred music ministry of the Jerusalem sanctuary.
