Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 31. - Mattithiah. The ubiquitous Shallum, that designates the family, not the individual, is probably here quoted, Mattithiah being at the time in question the representative son. The things that were made in the pans. The word here employed (הַחֲבִתִּים) is not found elsewhere, but other derivatives of the same root are often found (Leviticus 2:5; Leviticus 6:21; Leviticus 7:9; 1 Chronicles 23:29; Ezekiel 4:3).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(31) The narrative returns to the functions of the Levites. "And Mattithiah, one of the Levites (he was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite), was (or is) in fixed charge over the making of the pancakes."Mattithiah . . . firstborn of Shallum the Korahite.--The son of Shallum, or Meshelemiah, is called Zechariah (1Chronicles 26:2). If Zechariah was the chief branch of Shallum in the days of David, Mattithiah may have been so in the time of the chronicler or of his authority here.Had the set office.--In other words, the duty of baking the sacred cakes for the meat offerings was hereditary in this branch of the family of Shallum.Things that were made in the pans--i.e., "pancakes." The Hebrew term (h?bittim) occurs here only, but its meaning is fixed by the related word "baking-pan" (Ezekiel 4:3; mah?bath).
