Here the thread of the history of Nehemiah, interrupted by the insertion of the two preceding verses, is carried from the priests to the Levites in the times of the third high priest:<\/p>\n Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel<\/strong>; these were singers, since it follows:<\/p>\n with their brethren over against them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, ward over against ward<\/strong>; which office of theirs they performed by turns in courses, as David under a divine direction ordered, see<\/p>\n 1Ch 23:5<\/span>.<\/p>\n The names Hashabiah, Sherebiah, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, frequently occur as those of heads of Levitical orders: the two first in Neh 10:12<\/span>., Ezr 8:18<\/span>.; the two last in Neh 12:8<\/span>, Neh 10:10<\/span>, and Ezr 2:40<\/span>; and the comparison of these passages obliges us to regard and expunge as a gloss the before Kadmiel. Opposite to these four are placed their brethren, whose office it was “to praise (and) to give thanks according to the commandment of David,” etc.: comp. 1Ch 16:4<\/span>; 1Ch 23:30<\/span>; 2Ch 5:13<\/span>; and , 2Ch 29:25<\/span>. , ward opposite ward, elsewhere used of the gatekeepers, 1Ch 26:16<\/span>, is here applied to the position of the companies of singers in divine worship. The names of the brethren, i.e., of the Levitical singers, follow, Neh 12:25<\/span>, where the first three names must be separated from those which follow, and combined with Neh 12:24<\/span>. This is obvious from the consideration, that Mattaniah and Bakbukiah are mentioned in Neh 11:17<\/span> as presidents of two companies of singers, and with them Abda the Jeduthunite, whence we are constrained to suppose that is only another form for of Neh 11:17<\/span>. According, then, to what has been said, the division into verses must be changed, and Neh 12:25<\/span> should begin with the name . Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub are chiefs of the doorkeepers; the two last names occur as such both in Neh 11:19<\/span> and Ezr 2:42<\/span>, and even so early as 1Ch 9:17<\/span>, whence we perceive that these were ancient names of races of Levitical doorkeepers. In Ezr 2:42<\/span> and 1Ch 9:17<\/span>, , answering to of the present verse, is also named with them. The combination is striking: we should at least have expected , because, while cannot be combined with , may well be so; hence we must either transpose the words as above, or read according to Neh 11:19<\/span>, . In the latter case, is more closely defined by the apposition : at the doors, viz., at the treasure-chambers of the doors.
