Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Heman in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew culture and texts.

Usage: Heman is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "faithful" or "trustworthy." It is used to refer to several individuals, most notably a wise man and a musician in the service of King David.

Cultural and Historical Background: Heman is recognized as one of the sons of Zerah, a descendant of Judah, and is noted for his wisdom. He is also identified as a Levitical singer and a key figure in the musical worship established by King David. Heman, along with Asaph and Ethan, was appointed to lead the music in the house of the Lord, playing a significant role in the liturgical life of ancient Israel. His contributions to the Psalms, particularly Psalm 88, highlight the depth of his spiritual and artistic expression.
