Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Chronicles 9:2-34

This forms a very interesting account in the history of the church, if it be remembered that this takes up the relation in the captives of Israel being now returned from Babylon. They found their temple, the beautiful temple of Solomon, destroyed. The people, therefore, had only a moveable tabernacle to repair to. But yet the whole nation of the captives which returned set about the service of the sanctuary with earnestness; the Lord stirring up their minds to the employment; so that everyone... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 9:1-44

In this chapter the genealogies are completed, that is to say, they here reach the latest point in their history, and refer to the dwellers in Jerusalem after the return from captivity. They are lists of the heads of the families of Judah, Benjamin, the priests, and the Levites. Immediately following these lists we have an account of the porters and their duties, together with those of the Levites and the priests.

1 Chronicles 9:1 . All Israel were reckoned by genealogies, from books carried to Babylon. 1 Chronicles 9:2 . Nethinims.

Ephraim and Manasseh, the... read more
