Mallothi was a son of Heman, one of the three chief musicians appointed by David for the worship of the Tabernacle.

When David organized the musicians into twenty-four courses, the position of each was determined by lot, and Mallothi was appointed chief of the nineteenth course of twelve singers. His role was primarily that of a singer in the Temple choir.
