Commentary
2 notes on this verseThis 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.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
And Ibneiah the son of Jeroham,.... Who with two more, Elah and Meshullam, whose ancestors are given, of whom we have no mention elsewhere, were all of the tribe of Benjamin, said to settle at Jerusalem.
