Biography
First Chronicles 6 includes Ethni in a Levitical genealogy leading to Asaph, one of the principal musicians appointed for worship. Depending on verse numbering and textual presentation, the relationships in this genealogy can be easy to misstate; Scripture supplies no independent narrative about Ethni himself.

Ethni's importance is genealogical within the Levitical line connected with organized worship and temple music. No fuller personal biography is supported.
