Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Obadiah the son of Shemaiah,.... Called Abda the son of Shammua, Nehemiah 11:17
the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun; who was Ethan, another of the singers in the time of David:
and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, that dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites; the villages about Netophah, which was in the tribe of Judah, 1 Chronicles 2:54, Nehemiah 7:26 which may be understood either of Elkanah, the ancestor of Berechiah, whose dwelling was there; or of Berechiah, and must be rendered,
who had dwelt there; for now he dwelt at Jerusalem.
