the descendants of Parosh, 2,172
on Ezra 2:3-35
Verses 3 to 35 name family after family. Adam Clarke notes the pattern: a person's name marks descendants, and a place name marks its former inhabitants. John Gill sets the list beside the parallel roll in Nehemiah 7 and finds the two agree in substance while differing in some numbers.
This site's exposition
the men of Kiriath-jearim, Chephirah, and Beeroth
Nehemiah 7:29 gives the same 743. Three towns share one figure here, as Lod, Hadid and Ono do in verse 33. The 743 men make the largest count of any entry that joins towns together.
