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 descended from Seraiah ( 1 Chronicles 6:14 ). The ins and outs of the lists of these verses confirm the supposition that the way in which differences in the other lists occur are easily to be accounted for, in one compiler having selected some of the names of the whole line of genealogy, and another others, though in each several case according to reasons often unknown by us. Thus, between Jeroham and Pashur the table of Nehemiah supplies three additional links in the names Pelaliah, Amzi, Zechariah; while in our very next verse, for the three between Maasiai (Amashai) and Meshillemith , Nehemiah has only two names, and neither of those two (Azareel, Ahasai) the same as found here.
