Neemias 12:1-26 NVIPT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Nehemiah 12:1-26

We have here the names, and little more than the names, of a great many priests and Levites, that were eminent in their day among the returned Jews. Why this register should be here inserted by Nehemiah does not appear, perhaps to keep in remembrance those good men, that posterity might know to whom they were beholden, under God, for the happy revival and re-establishment of their religion among them. Thus must we contribute towards the performance of that promise, Ps. 112:6; The righteous... read more

Now these are the priests and the Levites that went up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua ,.... Who went up from the captivity in Babylon to Jerusalem with them; the one was the prince, the other the high priest, the same with Joshua the high priest, Zechariah 3:1 , the names of the priests are given in this and the six following verses: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra ; not Jeremiah the prophet, who cannot be thought to live so long as through the captivity; but Ezra may be Ezra... read more

Moreover the Levites ,.... Who lived in the same times: were Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah ; most of these are made mention of in Nehemiah 8:7 , the last of them is said to be over the thanksgiving, he and his brethren ; he was the precentor, or had the directing and conducting of the songs of the temple, particularly the thanksgiving song at the daily sacrifices; Jarchi takes the word here used to be the name of a musical instrument. read more

Also Bakbukiah and Unni ,.... Two other Levites; the first is mentioned in Nehemiah 11:17 , their brethren, were over against them in the watches ; the Levites were divided into twenty four wards, and these were placed one against another, 1 Chronicles 23:6 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 12:10-11

And Jeshua begat Joiakim, Joiakim also begat Eliashib, and Eliashib begot Joiada, and Joiada begat Jonathan, and Jonathan begot Jaddua. This is an account of the high priests in succession in the second temple, the first six of them; and if Jaddua, the last mentioned, is the same with Jaddus, as Josephus F14 Antiqu. l. 11. c. 8. sect. 5. supposes, who went forth in his pontifical robes to meet Alexander the great returning from his conquests of Tyre and Gaza, from whom he obtained many... read more

The Levites, in the days of Eliashib,.... The third priest of the second temple: Joiada ; he was the son of Eliashib, and the fourth high priest: and Johanan ; the same with Jonathan, Nehemiah 12:11 and whom Josephus F15 Antiqu. l. 11. c. 7. sect. 1. also calls Joannes: and Jaddua ; the same as in Nehemiah 12:10 in the days of each of these were recorded chief of the fathers ; the principal men among the Levites: also the priests, to the reign of Darius the Persian... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 12:23

The sons of Levi, the chief of the fathers, were written in the book of the chronicles ,.... Some think this refers to 1 Chronicles 9:14 , &c.; until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib ; from whence Dr. Lightfoot F16 Works, vol. 1. p. 146. concludes, that the Chronicles were written by Ezra in the times of this Johanan. read more

And the chief of the Levites ,.... Here the thread of the history of Nehemiah, interrupted by the insertion of the two preceding verses, is carried from the priests to the Levites in the times of the third high priest: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel ; these were singers, since it follows: with their brethren over against them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, ward over against ward ; which office of theirs they... read more
