And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Mattithiah ... the first-born of Shallum the Korahite - This Shallum would seem to be the person mentioned in 1Ch 9:19, whose actual first-born was Zechariah 1Ch 26:2. Mattithiah may have been his eldest lineal descendant at the time here spoken of.

David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint . . . the singers with instruments--These eminent Levites were instructed to train the musicians and singers who were under them, for the solemn procession. The performers were ranged in three choirs or bands, and the names of the principal leaders are given (1Ch 15:17, 18, 21), with the instruments respectively used by each.

- 1 Chronicles 15:21
And Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah were to lead the music with lyres according to Sheminith.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 15:212 voices
And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah,.... These six were appointed to sound: with harps on the Sheminith to excel; which Sheminith some take to be an harp with eight strings, or the beginning of a song, or a musical tone, the bass; see the title of Psa 6:1.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Harps on the Sheminith - Sheminith properly means the eighth, and has been compared with the modern musical term octave. Further, Sheminith and Alamoth are regarded as contrasted, and the harps of Mattithiah and his companions are supposed to have been pitched an octave below the psalteries of Zechariah and his brethren. The word translated to excel, is taken as meaning to lead, and Mattithiah, etc., as leaders of the singers.

John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
A select number of the musicians were chosen for the service from the list (1Ch 15:19-21) of those who had taken a prominent part in the recent procession. The same arrangement was to be observed in their duties, now that the ark again was stationary;

Commentary on 1 Chronicles 25:32 voices

Commentary on Ezra 10:431 voice
What good impressions were made upon the people by Ezra's humiliation and confession of sin. No sooner was it noised in the city that their new governor, in whom they rejoiced, was himself in grief, and to so great a degree, for them and their sin, than presently there assembled to him a very great congregation, to see what the matter was and to mingle their tears with his,

- Nehemiah 8:4
Ezra the scribe stood on a high wooden platform built for this occasion. At his right side stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, and at his left were Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hash-baddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam.
Commentary on Nehemiah 8:42 voices
Ezra . . . stood upon a pulpit of wood--Not made in the form known to us, but only a raised scaffold or platform, broad enough to allow fourteen persons to stand with ease upon it. Ezra's duty was very laborious, as he continued reading aloud from morning until midday, but his labor was lightened by the aid of the other priests present.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871Reformed
