דברי הימים א, פרק ט׳, פסוק ט״ז

The genealogical records carefully preserve the heritage of the families entrusted with the musical service in the Temple. These individuals carried forward a rich legacy, with many tracing their ancestry directly back to the renowned singers Asaph and Jeduthun [ביאור שטיינזלץ].

A comparison between this historical account and the parallel record in the Book of Ezra reveals a few variations in how these figures are remembered. For instance, the individual identified as Obadiah son of Shemaiah is recorded in Ezra under the name Abda son of Shammua. Furthermore, the figure Berechiah is entirely absent from the parallel list [רלב״ג].

The record also notes a specific living arrangement, mentioning someone who dwelled in the villages of the Netophathites. This geographical detail specifically identifies the home of Elkanah. It does not apply to Berechiah, whose established residence was within the city limits of Jerusalem [מצודת דוד].
