Commentary

3 notes on this verse
And Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and Mattaniah,.... Four more of the chief of the Levites, the pedigree of the last of which is traced up by Micah and Zichri to Asaph, the singer in the times of David, a descendant of Gershon, the first son of Levi; the first of these is thought by Hillerus (t) to be the same with Bakbukiah, Neh 11:17. (t) Onamastic. Sacr. p. 401, 548.

From the priests

on 1 Chronicles 9:10-16

Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, and Jachin are three of the twenty-four priestly courses set out in 1 Chronicles 24: Jehoiarib first, Jedaiah second, Jachin twenty-first. The returned priesthood thus takes up an order older than the exile. The Levites named through verse 16 trace back to Merari and to Asaph.

This site's exposition

Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal, and Mattaniah

Mattaniah descends from Asaph, David's singer, and Nehemiah 11:17 names him as the leader of thanksgiving and prayer. Gill reports the view of Hillerus that Bakbakkar is the Bakbukiah of the same verse. Asaph's house still sang.
