plain: Nehemiah 6:2
Netophathi: 1 Chronicles 2:54, 1 Chronicles 9:16
Reciprocal: 1 Chronicles 6:32 - and then 1 Chronicles 9:22 - in their Nehemiah 3:22 - the men of the plain
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together,.... Such of the Levites that were singers, and their sons that were trained up as such:
both out of the plain country round about Jerusalem the plain of Jordan by Jericho, and the plain of Saron and Lydda:
and from the villages of Netophathi: see 1 Chronicles 9:16, here they dwelt, when not in their courses, to minister in the temple; but on this public occasion were summoned together.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The plain country round about Jerusalem - Perhaps the valleys of Hinnom and Jehoshaphat, which enclose Jerusalem on three sides, are intended.
The villages of Netophathi - Rather, as in 1 Chronicles 9:16. Netophah lay near Bethlehem 1 Chronicles 2:54, and is perhaps represented by the modern Antubeh.
