Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 6:24
[See comments on 1 Chronicles 6:22].
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 6:24
Tahath his son, Uriel his son, Uzziah his son, and Shaul his son. Uriel - or Zephaniah. (1 Chronicles 6:36). Shaul his son. Lepsius ('Letters from Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sinai') and Bunsen ('Egypt's Place,' pp.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 6:24
Uriel, called also Zephaniah, , where also Uzziah here following is called Azariah.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 6:24
(24) In the corresponding verse of the genealogy of Heman below (1 Chronicles 6:38) the names are Tahath, Zephaniah, Azariah, and Joel. It is easy to suppose that as the two series diverge after Tahath, Uriel and Zephaniah are two different sons of Tahath. But we notice (1) that Uzziah (1 Chronicles 6:24) may = Azariah, 1 Chronicles 6:36 (comp. King Uzziah—Azariah, 2 Kings 15:1; 2 Chronicles 26:1); (2) that although there is an apparent break between 1 Chronicles 6:24-25, so that a new list begins with the sons of Elkanah (1 Chronicles 6:25), yet 1 Chronicles 6:35-36 speak of an “Amasai, son of Elkanah,” in exact agreement with 1 Chronicles 6:25; and (3) that the correspondence between the two lists (1 Chronicles 6:22-30; 1 Chronicles 6:33-38) is so close, that it is difficult not to assume their substantial identity. Uriel may have been also known as Zephaniah, and Shaul as Joel.
