尼希米记 12:10-21 CUNPSS

The Pulpit Commentary - Nehemiah 12:11

Jonathan , or "Johanan," as the name is given in Nehemiah 12:22 , Nehemiah 12:23 , became high priest about b.c. 380, according to Syncellus and the Paschal Chronicle, and held the office for thirty-two years. Josephus, who calls him "Jannseus" (= John), says that he murdered his own brother, Jeshua, in the temple, because he was endeavouring to supplant him in the high priesthood through the influence of the Persians. Jaddua is mentioned as high priest at the time of Alexander's... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Nehemiah 12:12

Of Seraiah, Meraiah . It will be observed that the family names of the priestly, courses follow the order of the same names in Nehemiah 12:1-7 , and exactly accord with them, excepting in minute differences of spelling, and in one omission—that of the name of "Hattush.' It might be supposed that the family of Hattush had died out; but this is contradicted by its reappearance among the signatures to the covenant ( Nehemiah 10:4 ); the omission here would therefore appear to be accidental. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Nehemiah 12:12-21

LIST OF THE HEADS OF THE PRIESTLY COURSES IN THE TIME OF THE HIGH PRIEST JOIAKIM ( Nehemiah 12:12-21 ). Joiakim must have been contemporary with Xerxes, and consequently have been high priest at the time when the very existence of the Jewish people was threatened by Haman. It is curious that we have no record of his high priesthood, nor of the condition of the Palestinian Jews at the time, beyond the slight hints furnished by this chapter. These hints seem... read more

Of Miniamin Rather, "of Miamin" (see Nehemiah 12:5 ). The name of the head of the course in Joiakim's time has, by the carelessness of a copyist, fallen out. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Nehemiah 12:19

And of Joiarib . The conjunction "and' occurring here, exactly as it does in Nehemiah 12:6 , once only in the whole list, and before the same name, shows that the two documents ( Nehemiah 12:1-7 , Nehemiah 12:12-21 ) are from the same hand. That the hand is that of Nehemiah, or a contemporary, seems to follow from the fact that no reason can be assigned for the division, or for the low place in the lists of the names Joiarib and Jedaiah, except the failure of these families to set... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Nehemiah 12:10-11

The six generations of high priests covered a little more than two centuries (538-333 B.C.), or a little under thirty-five years to a generation. Jaddua was the high priest who (according to Josephus) had an interview with Alexander shortly after the battle of Issus. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Nehemiah 12:10-11

Nehemiah 12:10-11. And Jeshua begat Joiakim In these two verses is an account of the succession of the high-priests, from the return of the captivity till the time when they began to bear the greatest sway in the Jewish nation. For the Jaddua mentioned at the end of Nehemiah 12:11, is commonly thought to be that Jaddus, the high-priest, who went to meet Alexander the Great in his pontifical habit, as he came from the conquest of Tyre and Gaza, and procured great privileges for the Jewish... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Nehemiah 12:12

Nehemiah 12:12. In the days of Joiakim were priests As the writer had mentioned those who were the chief of the priests in the days of Jeshua, so now he mentions the sons of every one of them who officiated in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, either as assistants to their fathers, or succeeding them when they were dead. He begins with the three named in this verse, and so proceeds in order to give an account of the rest, which reaches to Nehemiah 12:22. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 12:1-26

Lists of priests and Levites (12:1-26)Following the lists of residents of Jerusalem are the lists of priests and Levites. The first of these records the names of those priests and Levites who returned with Zerubbabel and Joshua (12:1-9). (The Ezra mentioned in this list is not the more commonly known Ezra.) After recording the descendants of Joshua for the next six generations (10-11), the writer returns to record the heads of the other original priestly families (12-21).Besides dealing with... read more
