The list is here nearly the same with those found in Ezra and Nehemiah, and contains those who returned to Jerusalem with Zerubbabel, but the list in Nehemiah is more ample, probably because it contains those who came afterwards; the object of the sacred writer here being to give the names of those who came first (Ch1 9:2). These consisted of men belonging not only to the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, but to many of the other tribes of Israel, who took advantage of the proclamation of Cyrus to return to Jerusalem. Properly speaking, the divisions mentioned here constituted the whole of the Israelitish people, who were divided into priests, Levites, common Israelites, and Nethinims.\nthe king's: Kg1 10:5; Kg2 11:19; Eze 44:2, Eze 44:3, Eze 46:1, Eze 46:2; Act 3:11\nthey: Ch1 26:12-19\nKorah: Num 26:9-11; Psa 42:1, Psa 44:1, Psa 49:1 *titles\ngates: Heb. thresholds, Psa 84:10 *marg.\nover the host: Kg2 11:9, Kg2 11:15; Ch2 23:4-10\nkeepers of the entry: Ch1 26:7, Ch1 26:8, Ch1 26:13-19\nPhinehas: Num 3:32, Num 4:16, Num 4:28, Num 4:33, Num 31:6\nthe Lord: Num 25:11-13; Sa1 16:18; Act 7:9, Act 7:10\nZechariah: Ch1 26:14\nin their: Ch1 9:16, Ch1 9:25; Neh 11:25-30, Neh 11:36, Neh 12:28, Neh 12:29, Neh 12:44\nDavid: 1Chr. 23:1-32, 25:1-26:32, Ch1 28:13, Ch1 28:21\nSamuel: Sa1 9:9\ndid ordain: Heb. founded\nset office: or, trust, Ch1 9:26, Ch1 9:31\nthe oversight: Ch1 23:32; Ch2 23:19; Neh 12:45; Eze 44:10, Eze 44:11, Eze 44:14\nfour: Ch1 26:14-18\nseven: Kg2 11:5, Kg2 11:7; Ch2 23:8\nset office: or, trust\nchambers: or, storehouses, treasuries.

See the references. Psa 134:1, Psa 134:2, Psa 135:1-3\nchief fathers: Ch1 9:13; Neh 11:1-15\nJerusalem: We have already seen the situation and extent of this ancient city (see note on Ch1 8:28); but the Jerusalem of sacred history is no more. After having been successively destroyed by the Babylonians and Romans, and taken by the Saracens, Crusaders, and Turks, in the possession of the latter of whom it still continues, not a vestige remains of the capital of David and Solomon, not a monument of Jewish times is standing. The very course of the walls is changed, and the boundaries of the ancient city are become doubtful. The monks pretend to shew the sites of the sacred places; but they have not the slightest pretensions to even a probable identity with the real places. The Jerusalem that now is, however, called by the Arabs El Kouds, or \"the holy city,\" is still a respectable, good-looking town, of an irregular shape. it is surrounded by high embattled walls, enclosing an area not exceeding two miles and a half, and occupying two small hills, having the valley of Jehoshaphat on the east, the valley of Siloam and Gehinnom on the south, and the valley of Rephaim on the west; and containing a population variously estimated at from 20,000 to 30,000 souls.\nin Gibeon: Ch1 8:29-40\nthe father: Ch1 2:23, Ch1 2:24, Ch1 2:45, Ch1 2:50-52\nwhose: Some editions read achatho, \"his sister;\" but in the parallel place Ch1 8:29, it is ishto, \"his wife,\" which is also the reading of the LXX, Vulgate, Arabic, and Syriac here, and is undoubtedly the true reading. This repetition of part of Bemjamin's genealogy seems to have been intended merely as an introduction to the ensuing history.\nZechariah: Zacher is merely an abbreviation of Zechariah, by the omission of Jah or Yah, one of the names of God. Ch1 8:31, Zacher\nShimeam: Shimeam seems to be a mistake for Shimeah; the only difference being \u05dd, mem final, and \u05d4, hay; and the LXX in both places read \u03a3\u03b1\u03bc\u03b1\u03b1, Samaa. Ch1 8:32, Shimeah\nNer: Ch1 8:33; Sa1 14:50, Sa1 14:51\nand Saul: Ch1 10:2; Sa1 13:22, Sa1 14:1, Sa1 14:49, Ishui, Sa1 31:2\nEshbaal: Ch1 8:33\nMeribbaal: Ch1 8:34-36\nAhaz: Ch1 8:35\nbegat Jarah: Jarah seems also to be a mistake for Jehoadah, as the LXX read uniformly \u0399\u03b1\u03b4\u03b1, Iada. Ch1 8:36, Jehoadah\nRephaiah: Rapha is merely a contracted form of Rephaiah. Ch1 8:37, Rapha","title":"Treasury of Scriptural Knowledge: 1 Chronicles: 1 Chronic...","type":"page"}
