1 Chronicles 9:12

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 9:1-13

1 Chron. 9:1 looks back upon the foregoing genealogies, and tells us they were gathered out of the books of the kings of Israel and Judah, not that which we have in the canon of scripture, but another civil record, which was authentic, as the king's books with us. Mentioning Israel and Judah, the historian takes notice of their being carried away to Babylon for their transgression. Let that judgment never be forgotten, but ever be remembered, for warning to posterity to take heed of those sins... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 9:12

And Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashur ,.... In this genealogy, between Jeroham and Pashur, were three more here omitted, Pelaliah, Amzi, Zechariah, Nehemiah 11:12 , and then Pashur the son of Malchijah, as here: and Maasiai the son of Adiel ; whose pedigree is traced up from hence, through Jahzerah, Meshullam, Meshillemith, to Immer; one of the five heads of the courses settled by David, 1 Chronicles 24:14 . The names of this man, and of his ancestors, are given, with some... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 9:11-13

This list resembles much more closely that of Nehemiah 11:11-14 . The one thousand and seven hundred and three score of this passage is not reached by five hundred and sixty-eight, when the numbers of Nehemiah 11:12-14 are all added together. The name Azariah (in Nehemiah appearing, probably simply by copyist's error, as Seraiah ), here described as ruler of the house of God , probably points to the high priest Eliashib , who held that office in the time of Nehemiah, and was ... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 9:1-34

First group to return to Jerusalem (9:1-34)At the time of writing, the first of the exiles had just returned to Jerusalem, having been given permission by the Persian king Cyrus (2 Chronicles 36:22-23). The writer lists the heads of the families who returned (9:1-9). He points out that priests, Levites and temple servants also returned, to emphasize that the re-establishment of the nation Israel had to be on the basis of the religious order appointed by David before the captivity (10-16).Just... read more

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 9:12

(12) And Adaiah the son of Jeroham.—Nehemiah 11:12 runs: “And their brethren, doers of the work of the house, 822; and Adaiah son of Jeroham, son of Pelaliah, son of Amzi, son of Zechariah, son of Pashur, son of Malchijah.” Thus the line of Adaiah as given there exactly corresponds with the present passage, save that it inserts three names here wanting between Jerobam and Pashur: another illustration of the freedom of the compiler in dealing with these lists.Malchijah was the fifth of the... read more
