Who is Jehuel in the Bible?
Jehuel was a Levite from the family of Heman who served during the reign of King Hezekiah of Judah, as recorded in 2 Chronicles 29:14. He was descended from Heman, one of the three principal musicians appointed by King David to lead worship in the temple. When Hezekiah initiated a major reform to cleanse and rededicate the temple, Jehuel was among the Levites who actively participated in purifying the sanctuary and restoring it for proper worship.
