Commentary
2 notes on this verseAnd of the sons of Benjamin,.... Who were of the tribe of Benjamin, and went with Judah into captivity, and returned with them, and such of them as dwelt in Jerusalem before that: Sallu the son of Meshullam; whose pedigree is differently given, Neh 11:7, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenaah; perhaps these men had two names, there called Joel and Pedaiah.
This site's exposition
the first inhabitants that dwelt
on 1 Chronicles 9:2-9
The chapter's list of returned dwellers sorts by class before it sorts by name: Israelites first, then priests, Levites, and the Nethinims, the temple servants first named at Ezra 2:43. The same four groups and many of the same names reappear at Neh 11:3-19, close enough that Barnes reads both writers drawing on one common and fuller document rather than one copying the other. Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim and Manasseh dwell together in verse 3, Gill notes, the reunited kingdom now settled in one city rather than two.
