(Heb. id. גַּדִּלְתַּי , whom I [Jehovah] Have Made Great; Sept. Γεδδολλαθί and Γεδδελθί , Vulg. Geddelthi and Gedelthi), the ninth named of the four teen musical sons of Heman, and head of the twenty second course of Levitical musicians in the tabernacle under David ( 1 Chronicles 25:4;  1 Chronicles 25:29). B.C. 1013. The office of these brothers was to sound the horn in the Levitical orchestra ( 1 Chronicles 25:5;  1 Chronicles 25:7). F Ü rst (who reduces the sons of Heman to five) suggests (Heb. Lex. s.v.) that the appended "names probably formed together ( גָּדִלְתַי וְרֹמִמְתֹּי עֶזֶר מִלֹּוֹתַי הוֹתַיר מִחֲזַיאוֹת have dealt out fame and victorious help; I have spoken oracles in fulness) an old prophetic saying with which an oracle began, whose words were applied to the five [as soubriquets]; the tone itself [as a Name it would regularly be Giddalti'] pointing to this explanation." (See Heman).
