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 ^F20 to be the same with Bakbukiah, ( Nehemiah 11:17 ) .
