of the family of Seraiah, Meraiah
on Nehemiah 12:12-21
A second list of course heads follows, now serving "In the days of Joiakim," the second generation after the return. Several of these names recur among the sealers of the covenant in chapter 10. The priesthood renews itself by father's house, name matched to name and course to course.
This site's exposition
of Malluchi, Jonathan
Gill matches Malluchi to the Malluch of verse 2 and Shebaniah to the Shecaniah of verse 3, the same houses under a second spelling. Jonathan and Joseph head them in Joiakim's day.
