Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 1 Chronicles 9:15
And Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and Mattaniah the son of Micah, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph;
15. Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal ] The reading appears to be corrupt, for the analogy of the latter half of the Terse as well as of 1Ch 9:14; 1Ch 9:16 leads us to expect something more than bare names. Neither the LXX. nor the Vulg. give any real help for emending the clause. The corresponding words in Neh. (1Ch 11:17) are Bakbukiah the second among his brethren.

And Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and Mattaniah,…. Four more of the chief of the Levites, the pedigree of the last of which is traced up by Micah and Zichri to Asaph, the singer in the times of David, a descendant of Gershon, the first son of Levi; the first of these is thought by Hillerus t to be the same with Bakbukiah, Ne 11:17.

(15, 16) The chronicler here omits the verse Neh. 11:16, after which follows, And Mattaniah son of Micha son of Zabdi son of Asaph, the leader of praise, who used to give thanks after the prayer; and Bakbukiah the second among his brethren, and Abda son of Shammua, son of Galal, son of Jeduthun.
Bakbakkar and Bakbukiah are clearly variants of the same name, the latter being probably right.
Heresh, and Galal are omitted in Nehemiah 11
Zichri here is doubtless Zabdi there: a confusion of similar letters, k, b, r, d.
Obadiah the son of Shemaiah is the same as Abda son of Shammua.
Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah.Unmentioned in Nehemiah 11 As the name Elkanah appears in the pedigree of Heman (1Ch. 6:34), it is supposed that Berechiah represents the Hemanite guild, which is otherwise conspicuous here by its omission. Perhaps son of Heman has dropped out of the text, as there are two names between Mattaniah and Asaph, Obadiah and Jeduthun. It thus appears that 1Ch. 9:15-16 are concerned with the Levitieal choirs; comp. 1Ch. 9:33.
Villages of the Netophathites.Netophah was near Bethlehem (Neh. 7:26; 1Ch. 2:54).
