Commentary

Commentary on Nehemiah 12:8

Theological / Devotional

The Levites. Of those here mentioned, all but Mattaniah signed the covenant of ch. 10 (see ch. 10:9-13). Sherebiah and Jeshua (the son of Kadmiel) are again named as heads of Levitical divisions in ch. 12:24. The name Judah does not appear in any other list of Levites in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah, and may possibly stand in place of Hodijah (ch. 10:10). Mattaniah is probably the same as the Mattaniah of ch. 11:17, who directed the first choral group.
