Nehemiah 11:22 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 11:22

The overseer also of the Levites at Jerusalem was Uzzi, the
son of Bani
He was the supervisor of them, that looked after them that they did their work in ministering to the priests, as they had occasion for them; this man's genealogy is further traced through Hashabiah and Mattaniah, to Micha the son of Asaph, ( Nehemiah 11:17 ) ,

of the sons of Asaph, the singers were over the business of the house
of God;
which, according to Jarchi, was to take care of the repairs of the temple and other things; but one would think rather that part of the service of the house which lay in singing the songs of it is respected.
