The Pulpit Commentary on Nehemiah 11:22

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Properly, the whole of this verse forms a single sentence, and should run as follows:—"And the overseer of the Levites in Jerusalem, Huzzi, the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micha, of the sons of Asaph the singers, was over the business of the house of God."

As Shabbethai and Jozabad "had the oversight of the outward business" (Nehemiah 11:16), so the internal business was under the superintendence of Huzzi, or Uzzi. Uzzi appears as taking part in the dedication of the wall (Nehemiah 12:42).
