Verses 36-39
The priests 2:36-39
Only four of the 24 priestly families that David organized (1 Chronicles 24:7-18) had representatives among the returning exiles. Nevertheless, these would have been sufficient to serve the worship needs of the other Israelites who returned. The priests comprised about 8.6 percent of the total returnee population at this time (cf. Ezra 2:64-65).
