Commentary

3 notes on this verse
And of the Shilonites,.... Not called so from the city of Shiloh, which was in Ephraim; whereas these here intended were of the tribe of Judah, and were either the descendants of a man whose name was Shiloni, Neh 11:5 or rather these are the same with the Shelanites, Num 26:20 so called from Shelah the son of Judah; and so the Targum here is,"and of the tribe of Shelah:" Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons; the same with Maaseiah, Neh 11:5.

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

From the Shilonites

Gill reads the Shilonites as the Shelanites of Numbers 26:20, the clan of Judah's son Shelah, and takes Asaiah as the Maaseiah of Nehemiah 11:5. Judah's three surviving sons each have a family in verses 4 to 6. Perez, Shelah and Zerah all returned.
