John Gill, on Neh 12:28

“And the sons of the singing men were gathered together out of the plain country about Jerusalem, and out of the villages of Nethuphati,”

“Also from the house of Gilgal,.... Which likewise was in a champaign country in the plains of Jericho, Deu 11:30, and out of the fields of Geba; which was a Levitical city in the tribe of Benjamin, Jos 21:17 and Azmaveth; the same with Bethazmaveth, Neh 7:28 where it follows Anathoth and Netophah, as it does in Ezr 2:24, and was very probably in the tribe of Benjamin: for the singers had builded them villages round about Jerusalem; that they might be near it, to do their duty when required; by which it appears that the said places were near Jerusalem.”
