Nehemiah 12:36

Context
12:36 and his colleagues – Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani – with musical instruments of¹ David the man of God. (Ezra the scribe led them.)²

Nehemiah 12:45-46

Context
12:45 They performed the service of their God and the service of purification, along with the singers and gatekeepers, according to the commandment of David and³ his son Solomon. 12:46 For long ago, in the days of David and Asaph, there had been directors⁴ for the singers and for the songs of praise and thanks to God.

¹tn Or “prescribed by” (NIV, NLT); TEV “of the kind played by.” The precise relationship of these musical instruments to David is not clear.

²tn Heb “was before them.”

³tc With many medieval Hebrew MSS and the ancient versions the translation reads the conjunction (“and”). It is absent in the Leningrad MS that forms the textual basis for BHS.

⁴tn Heb “heads.” The translation reads with the Qere the plural רֹאשֵׁי (ro’shey, “heads”) rather than the Kethib singular רֹאשׁ (ro’sh, “head”) of the MT.
