Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Chronicles 29:12

"Then the Levites arose, Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah;" — 2 Chronicles 29:12 (ASV)

Mahath the son of Amasai. —The verse enumerates two members of each of the three great Levitical subtribes—Kohath, Merari, and Gershon. Mahath and Eden recur (2 Chronicles 31:13; 2 Chronicles 31:15). Kish ben Abdi and Joah ben Zimmah occurred (1 Chronicles 6:21; 1 Chronicles 6:44). They appear to be family rather than personal names.
