Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the chief of the Levites,.... 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:
Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel; these were singers, since it follows:
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; which office of theirs they performed by turns in courses, as David under a divine direction ordered, see
1 Chronicles 23:5.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Jeshua the son of Kadmiel - If the reading be sound, this Jeshua must have been the head of the Levitical family of Kadmiel in the time of Joiakim; but (compare Nehemiah 8:7; Nehemiah 9:4), some read “Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel,” etc.
Ward over against ward - i. e., “alternately,” one part of the choir corresponding the other.
