This site's exposition

Now the first to resettle their own property

on 1 Chronicles 9:2-9

The list sorts by class: Israelites, priests, Levites, and temple servants. The same four groups reappear at Nehemiah 11:3 to 19, and Barnes reads both writers as drawing on one fuller document. Gill notes that verse 3 has descendants of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh living together in Jerusalem.

This site's exposition

Uthai son of Ammihud

Uthai son of Ammihud, a descendant of Perez son of Judah, is the Athaiah of Nehemiah 11:4, where his line is given differently. Clarke takes this chapter as the list of the first to resettle. Perez was the forefather of David (Ruth 4:18 to 22).

Uthai the son of Ammihud - The list here is nearly the same with those found in Ezra and Nehemiah, and contains those who returned to Jerusalem with Zerubbabel; but the list in Nehemiah is more ample, probably because it contains those who came afterwards. The object of the sacred writer here was to give the list of those who came first. Now the first inhabitants, etc.
