Commentary
3 notes on this verseOr perhaps one was the account of them when they set out from Babylon with Zerubbabel, the other when they came to Jerusalem. The sum totals are all just the same there and here, except of the singing-men and singing-women, which there are 200, here 245.
This site's exposition
the children of Ziha
on Nehemiah 7:46-60
The Nethinims and the children of Solomon's servants close the temple household, thirty-five families of temple laborers named one by one though no descent from Israel is claimed for them. Their presence in the register beside priests and Levites gives even the lowest servants of the house a fixed place and a recorded name. The list treats a woodcutter's or a water carrier's family with the same care it gives a priest's.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
He appointed the porters, singers, and Levites, in their places to their work. This is meant of their work in general, which was to attend the temple service; it had been neglected in some degree, but now was revived. God's worship is the defence of a place, and his ministers, when they mind their duty, are watchmen on the walls.
