And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite,.... Of whom see 1-Chronicles 9:19,

Mattithiah, the first-born of the Korahite Shallum (vide 1-Chronicles 9:19), was on good faith over the panbakings (pastry) for the meat-offerings, over the preparation of which he was to watch.
