"They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity." — Isaiah 46:2 (ASV)
And Obadiah the son of Shemaiah
Called Abda the son of Shammua, (Nehemiah 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, (1 Chronicles 2:54) , (Nehemiah 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.
