Verse 6

6. Chamber of Johanan One of the chambers or cells of the temple where this son of Eliashib abode. Compare Nehemiah 13:4-5. Johanan, or Jehohanan, was probably the same as Jonathan in Nehemiah 12:11. In that case we must understand the word son here as grandson. Davidson asserts ( Kitto’s Cyc.) that Eliashib lived after Nehemiah, but this does not show but that he lived at the time of Nehemiah and of Ezra also, and long before his death his grandson might have occupied a chamber of the temple, and exercised the priestly functions.

Did eat no bread, nor drink water Like Moses when he mourned for the transgression of Israel, Deuteronomy 9:18.
