And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, 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.
Nehemiah 12:24 — KJV
Chief of the Levites. The names Hashabiah, Sherebiah, Jeshua, and Kadmiel occur frequently as those of the heads of Levitical orders, the first two in Ezra 8:18, 19 and Neh. 10:11, 12, the last two in Ezra 2:40 and Neh. 10:9; 12:8.
The son of. Heb. ben. This should perhaps read Binnuy, the Binnui of v. 8 (see Ezra 8:33; Neh. 3:24; 10:9). Ezra 2:40 and 10:9 (cf. Neh. 12:8) seem to make it impossible that Jeshua could have been “the son of’ Kadmiel.
The commandment of David. Compare 1 Chron. 15:16; 23:5; 25:3.
Man of God. This title is not often applied to David, but occurs again in Neh. 12:36, and also in 2 Chron. 8:14. Chronicles was probably written by the same author as Ezra and Nehemiah (see Introduction to Chronicles).
Ward over against ward. This phrase is used of the gatekeepers in 1 Chron. 26:16. Here it is used to describe the position of the companies of singers in divine worship, probably meaning that the groups were arranged opposite each other and sang responsively.
