Who hitherto waited in the king's gate eastward: they were porters in the companies of the children of Levi.
Who hitherto waited in the king's gate eastward: they were porters in the companies of the children of Levi.
-
- Who hitherto waited
- The original is weäd hennah, which Houbigant and Dr. Geddes consider as a proper name, and render, "And Adanah was over the eastern gate, called the king's;" i.e., the gate by which the kings of Judah went to the temple. The list is here nearly the same with those found in Ezra and Nehemiah, and contains those who returned to Jerusalem with Zerubbabel: but the list in Nehemiah is more ample, probably because it contains those who came afterwards; the object of the sacred writer here being to give the names of those who came first, (ver. 2.) These consisted of men belonging not only to the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, but to many of the other tribes of Israel, who took advantage of the proclamation of Cyrus to return to Jerusalem. Properly speaking, the divisions mentioned here constituted the whole of the Israelitish people, who were divided into priests, Levites, common Israelites, and Nethinims.

- Jerusalem
- We have already seen the situation and extent of this ancient city, (Note on 8:28;) but the Jerusalem of sacred history is no more. After having been successively destroyed by the Babylonians and Romans, and taken by the Saracens, Crusaders, and Turks, in the possession of the latter of whom it still continues, not a vestige remains of the capital of David and Solomon, not a monument of Jewish times is standing. The very course of the walls is changed, and the boundaries of the ancient city are become doubtful. The monks pretend to shew the sites of the sacred places; but they have not the slightest pretensions to even a probable identity with the real places. The Jerusalem that now is, however, called by the Arabs El Kouds, or "the holy city," is still a respectable, good-looking town, of an irregular shape: it is surrounded by high embattled walls, enclosing an area not exceeding two miles and a half, and occupying two small hills, having the valley of Jehoshaphat on the east, the valley of Siloam and Gehinnom on the south, and the valley of Rephaim on the west; and containing a population variously estimated at from 20,000 to 30,000 souls.
Verse 35
And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife's name was Maachah:
And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife's name was Maachah:
-

- 8:29-40
- the father
- 2:23,24,45,50-52
- whose
- Some editions read achatho, "his sister;" but in the parallel place ch. 8:29, it is ishto, "his wife," which is also the reading of the LXX., Vulgate, Arabic, and Syriac here, and is undoubtedly the true reading. This repetition of part of Bemjamin's genealogy seems to have been intended merely as an introduction to the ensuing history.
Verse 36
And his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab,
And his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab,
-

Verse 37
And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth.
And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth.

- Zacher is merely an abbreviation of Zechariah, by the omission of Jah or Yah, one of the names of God.
- 8:31
- Zacher
Verse 38
And Mikloth begat Shimeam. And they also dwelt with their brethren at Jerusalem, over against their brethren.
And Mikloth begat Shimeam. And they also dwelt with their brethren at Jerusalem, over against their brethren.
-
- Shimeam
- Shimeam seems to be a mistake for Shimeah; the only difference being [Mêm] mem final, and [Hê] hay; and the LXX. in both places read [Samaa] Samaä.
- 8:32
- Shimeah
Verse 39
And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.
And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.

- Eshbaal
- 8:33
Verse 42
And Ahaz begat Jarah; and Jarah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza;
And Ahaz begat Jarah; and Jarah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza;
-
- begat Jarah
- Jarah seems also to be a mistake for Jehoadah, as the LXX. read uniformly [~Iada~] Iada.
- 8:36
- Jehoadah
Verse 43
And Moza begat Binea; and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son.
And Moza begat Binea; and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son.
-
- Rephaiah
- Rapha is merely a contracted form of Rephaiah.
- 8:37
- Rapha
