John Gill Commentary 1 Chronicles 9:31

"And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the first-born of Shallum the Korahite, had the office of trust over the things that were baked in pans." — 1 Chronicles 9:31 (ASV)

And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of
Shallum the Korahite
Of whom see (1 Chronicles 9:19) ,

had the set office over the things that were made in the pans ; the meat offerings that were made in pans; and so has the care of the fine flour, oil, and frankincense used in them, which he delivered to the priests when necessary, see (Leviticus 2:5) ,

the Septuagint version is,``over the works of the sacrifice of the pan of the high priest;'' as if it respected peculiarly his meat offering, (Leviticus 6:20Leviticus 6:21) ,

we read in the Misnah ^F25 of the offerings of the high priest, as expressed by this word, which it signifies, and not pans, but what was fried in them {z}; and Ben Melech on the place says, this man was an high priest who offered every day the tenth part of an ephah in a pan, half of it in the morning, and half of it in the evening, according to (Leviticus 6:20) , but that cannot be, for certain it is he was a Levite, as the text expresses it.
