George Leo Haydock, on Neh 11:23

“For the king’s commandment was concerning them, and an order among the singing men day by day.”

“King’s. David’s, (chap. xii. 24,) or perhaps the Persian monarch, who had appointed a maintenance for the priests, &c., 1 Esdras vi., and vii. (Calmet) — Order. Hebrew, “that a certain portion should be for the singers, due for every day.” (Protestants)”
