And certain of the priests' sons with trumpets,.... To blow with on this occasion; for these the priests sounded: namely:
Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph; not the Levite, but a priest of this name.

32-34. Hoshaiah was probably a leading chief among these princes of Judah. Keil maintains that all the names in Neh_12:33-34 are the names of princes; while others hold that they are names of priests, being identical with priestly names occurring elsewhere in this book. This latter argument, however, is not conclusive, for princes might have names identical with certain priests, and the special designation of “priests’ sons” in Neh_12:35 seems rather to confirm the view of Keil. Ezra, here, is not the distinguished priest and scribe who is mentioned in Neh_12:36; and Judah and Benjamin are not the names of the tribes, but of individuals among the princes. The name Judah occurs again in Neh_12:36 among the priests’ sons.

Some versions read, "from among the priests with trumpets, Zechariah"
Zechariah son of Jonathan son of Shemaiah son of Mattaniah son of Micaiah son of Zaccur son of Asaph
All of the names after "Zechariah" are the ancestors of Zechariah. This list connects Zechariah with the famous singer Asaph. "Zechariah who was the son of Jonathan, who was the son of Shemaiah, who was the son of Mattaniah, who was the son of Micaiah, who was the son of Zaccur son of Asaph"
