John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 9:1-44

Genealogies (concluded)This chapter furnishes a record of the families and numbers of those who dwelt at Jerusalem after the captivity, and relates the ancestry and posterity of Saul.1. In the book, etc.] RV ’in the book of the kings of Israel: and Judah was carried away.. to Babylon.’2. Now the first inhabitants, etc.] This section (1 Chronicles 9:2-34) relates to the reoccupation of Jerusalem after the return from the exile, and appears to be a defective duplicate of Nehemiah 11:3 with some... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 9:7

(7) And of the sons of Benjamin.—The parallel passage (Nehemiah 11:7) starts with “Sallu the son of Me-shullam,” but continues, “the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah,” and carries the ancestry four generations further back.The son of Hodaviah, the son of Hasenuah.—Perhaps we should read “and Hodaviah,” instead of “son of Hodaviah.” (See Note on 1 Chronicles 9:9-10.) The name Hodaviah, which occurred 1 Chronicles 5:24, is a peculiar Aramaizing form of Hoduyah (“Thank the Lord”). Perhaps here the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 9:8

(8) Three other Benjamite houses.Ibneiah is much the same name as “Ibnijah” at the end of the verse. Both mean “Jah buildeth,” i.e., maketh offspring. (Comp. Assyrian Ea-Ibni, “Ea made,” i.e., a son.)Son of Jeroham.—The sons of Jeroham dwelt in Jerusalem before the exile as well as after it (1 Chronicles 8:27).Michri should perhaps be Zichri. (Comp. 1 Chronicles 8:19; 1 Chronicles 8:23; 1 Chronicles 8:27.)1 Chronicles 9:7-9 correspond to Nehemiah 11:7-9; but after tracing the ascending line of... read more

TEACHING BY ANACHRONISM1 Chronicles 9:1-44"And David the king said Who then offereth willingly? And they gave for the service of the house of God ten thousand darics."- 1 Chronicles 29:1; 1 Chronicles 29:5; 1 Chronicles 29:7TEACHING by anachronism is a very common and effective form of religious instruction; and Chronicles, as the best Scriptural example of this method, affords a good opportunity for its discussion and illustration.All history is more or less guilty of anachronism; every... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 9:1-44

GENEALOGIES AND PEDIGREES INTRODUCTION With this begins the study of those historical books of the Old Testament written shortly after the return from the Babylonian captivity, the remainder of the series including 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther. “Chronicles” means “diaries” or “journal,” and the books recapitulate sacred history from the time of Adam, in which the earlier books of the Old Testament are drawn upon and occasionally supplemented. The Holy Spirit, who is the real... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Chronicles 9:1-44

The Hell of Death Church Usages Every Man In His Place 1 Chronicles 9:0 If we regard all the names which occur in this chapter under the image of a deep flowing river, all we can hope to do is to wander by its banks awhile, and pluck here and there a flower, or watch here and there some shining bubble as it rises, gleams, and dies. We can hardly realise the toil that is expressed in the keeping of so large and critical a register. It is easy for us to run through the names, as but so many... read more

Robert Hawker

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
