Called Abda the son of Shammua, Neh 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, 1Ch 2:54, Neh 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.
This site's exposition
Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin
on 1 Chronicles 9:10-16
The priestly names at 9:10, Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, and Jachin, are not individuals but heads of three of the twenty-four courses David sets out fully in 1 Chr 24, Jehoiarib first, Jedaiah second, Jachin twenty-first, so the returned priesthood takes up an order older than the exile rather than inventing a new one. The Levites named through verse 16 trace back through Merari, Gershon and a line reaching Asaph, the singer's house chapter 16 already planted at the ark's return. The list works the way the Chronicler works genealogy throughout the book, naming continuity rather than narrating it.
