Nehemiah 10:9-13 - Exposition
Jeshua, Binnui , and Kadmiel represent the three chief families of returned Levites (see Ezra 2:40 ; Ezra 3:9 ; Nehemiah 7:43 , Nehemiah 7:44 ; Nehemiah 9:4 , Nehemiah 9:5 , etc.). Binnui, it may be remarked, has now supplanted Kadmiel, and stepped into the second place. Of the remaining names, those of Hashabiah and Sherebiah designate families which returned with Ezra ( Ezra 8:18 , Ezra 8:19 ). The remaining names are probably also those of families.
