"For there was a commandment from the king concerning them, and a settled provision for the singers, as every day required."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
For it was the king's commandment concerning them,.... Either of King David as some, see Neh 12:24 or rather of the king of Persia: that a certain portion should be
for the singers, due for every day; he settled a daily salary for them, to be paid out of his treasury; having perhaps a peculiar respect for such sort of men, being a lover of music, by means of which they had a settled habitation in Jerusalem.
