MAHOL, or Machol, Father of Ethan, Heman, Chalcol, and Darda. See 1 Kings iv. 31. and HEMAN and CHALCOL before. Some conjecture that Mahol was the Mother, and not the Father of Ethan, Heman, &c. or that Mahol is a generical Name, signifying the Choir. In which Sense Ethan, Heman, and Chalcol would be Sons of the Choir, alluding to their Profession of Singers or Musicians.
