Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 25:4
Of Heman: the sons of Heman,.... The third chief singer: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel; the same with Azareel, 1 Chronicles 25:18 Shebuel; called Shubael, 1 Chronicles 25:20 and Jerimoth, Hananiah,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 25:4
Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the LORD.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 25:4
(4) Of Heman.—Rather, To Reman: the sons of Heman were, &c. Fourteen names of Hemanite leaders are given. Curiously enough, the last six, excluding the peculiar “Joshbekashah,” form, as they stand, a complete poetical couplet, which may be rendered: “God has come; I have exalted and extolled the help; I have spoken abundance of visions.” Such words are very suitable in the mouth of a seer, as Heman is called in the next verse, but the arrangement of the names in this order is perhaps only a mnemonic device Uzziel.—Power of God (Exodus 6:18); called “Azareel” in 1 Chronicles 25:18 ( God hath helped, 1 Chronicles 12:6). The words differ in Hebrew by one letter only. The Syriac has “Uzziel” (Azael) in both places. But the difference appears in the LXX. and Vulg. Shebuel.—In 1 Chronicles 25:20, “Shubael,” which the LXX. reads in both places. The Syriac and Vulg. keep the distinction. (Comp. 1 Chronicles 24:20.) Giddalti, and Romamti-ezer.—That is, perhaps, Giddalti-ezer and Romamti-ezer. But in 1 Chronicles 25:29 “Giddalti” occurs again without any such addition, and the name as it stands may be compared with “Mallothi.” The two verbs, giddaltî and romamtî, occur together in Isaiah 1:2 : “1 have nourished and brought up.”
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 25:4
4. Heman] See 1 Chronicles 15:17, note. Uzziel] In 1 Chronicles 25:18 “Azarel.” (R.V.) The variation between the two words when written with Hebrew consonants is small. Cp. note on 2 Chronicles 26:1 (“Uzziah” and “Azariah”). Shebuel] In 1 Chronicles 25:20 “Shubael.” Jerimoth] In 1 Chronicles 25:22 “Jeremoth.” Hananiah, Hanani] Most Hebrew names are significant, and many can be used as mottoes. In this place the Chronicler (or the authority from whom he drew the list) has so arranged the names as to suggest a sentence (extending to the end of the verse) which runs somewhat as follows:—Have mercy upon me, O Lord, have mercy upon me; I have magnified and exalted [thy] help; I spake of it sitting in affliction; grant us still [thy] visions.
