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 Michmash, 122
Nehemiah 7:31 gives the same 122. Michmash is counted alone between two grouped entries, Ramah and Geba in verse 26 and Bethel and Ai in verse 28. Its neighbours on both sides are larger, at 621 and 223.
