Commentary

And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together,.... Such of the Levites that were singers, and their sons that were trained up as such: both out of the plain country round about Jerusalem the plain of Jordan by Jericho, and the plain of Saron and Lydda: and from the villages of Netophathi: see Ch1 9:16 , here they dwelt, when not in their courses, to minister in the temple; but on this public occasion were summoned together.
