Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 9:2
The first inhabitants - i. e. the first inhabitants of the holy land after the return from the captivity. They are enumerated under four heads:(1) Israelites, i. e. the mass of the laity, whether belonging to the ten tribes or the two;(2) priests;(3) Levites; and(4) the lowest order of the ministry, the Nethinims.These last, whose name is derived from a root “to give,” were a sort of sacred slaves - persons “given” to the Levites to perform the more laborious duties of the sanctuary. Some had... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 9:3
The correspondence and the diversity between the account here and in Nehemiah Nehemiah 11:4-19 are explained by the probability that both writers drew from a common and fuller document. They selected, in some instances, different names, or names which are now different through corruption; and they frequently expressed the genealogies of the same persons differently, both going on the principle of compression by means of omissions, but omitting from their lists different links of the chain. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 9:4
1 Chronicles 9:4. Ammihud That there is so great a diversity of names between this catalogue and that Nehemiah 11:0., may be ascribed to two causes. 1st, To the custom of the Hebrews, who used frequently to give several names to one person. And, 2d, To the change of times; for here they are named who came up at the first return: but many of those in Nehemiah might be such as returned afterward, and came and dwelt, either instead of the persons here named, or with them. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 9:7
1 Chronicles 9:7. Sallu the son of Meshullam Who is mentioned, but described by other parents, (Nehemiah 11:7,) or at least by persons under other names. Possibly these were his more immediate, and those his more remote parents: or he might be begotten by the one, and adopted by the other. For it is certain that men are sometimes, in Scripture, called the sons of those that adopted them, or whose right of inheritance fell to them. read more
