And Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, etc.] Called Abda the son of Shammua, (<161117>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, (<130254>1 Chronicles 2:54), (<160726>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.
