About Nethanel
Nethanel was one of the musicians who participated in the joyful parade at the dedication of Jerusalem's wall in the time of Nehemiah (Neh.12.36). He played a musical instrument, perhaps a trumpet or cymbal, as part of the celebration. This event marked the completion of the rebuilding of Jerusalem's defenses.
