Who he was
Joah (or Ethan) is mentioned in the genealogy of the Levites, specifically the Gershonite clan, in 1 Chronicles 6:21 and 1 Chronicles 6:42. He is identified as the son of Zimmah and is listed among the ancestors of Asaph, a prominent Levitical musician in King David's time. The name Joah is used in verse 21, while Ethan is used in verse 42, suggesting that these two names refer to the same individual.
