Context — The Exiles Who Returned with Ezra
8from the descendants of Shephatiah, Zebadiah son of Michael, and with him 80 men;
9from the descendants of Joab, Obadiah son of Jehiel, and with him 218 men;
10from the descendants of Bani, Shelomith son of Josiphiah, and with him 160 men;
11from the descendants of Bebai, Zechariah son of Bebai, and with him 28 men; 12from the descendants of Azgad, Johanan son of Hakkatan, and with him 110 men;Ezra 8:10 Summary
Ezra 8:10 tells us about a man named Shelomith, who was a leader from the descendants of Bani, and he returned to Jerusalem with 160 men. This shows us that God is faithful to His people, just like He promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34, and that we can trust in His plans, as seen in Isaiah 46:10. Shelomith's example teaches us about the importance of community and working together towards a common goal, as in Acts 2:42-47, and reminds us that every person has a role to play in God's bigger plan, just like in 1 Corinthians 12:12-27.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who was Shelomith son of Josiphiah in Ezra 8:10?
Shelomith was a leader from the descendants of Bani who returned to Jerusalem with Ezra, as recorded in Ezra 8:10, and his father Josiphiah is likely a notable figure in the Bani family line, similar to the way leaders are identified in Numbers 1:5-16.
What is the significance of the number 160 men in Ezra 8:10?
The 160 men who accompanied Shelomith son of Josiphiah represent a portion of the Israelites who were committed to returning to Jerusalem and rebuilding the Temple, as seen in Ezra 8:1-14, and their number, although smaller than some other groups like the 218 men from the descendants of Joab in Ezra 8:9, still demonstrates their dedication to the cause, much like the faithfulness of a few in Matthew 22:14.
How does Ezra 8:10 relate to the overall theme of the book of Ezra?
Ezra 8:10 is part of the larger narrative of the Israelites' return to Jerusalem after exile, as prophesied in Isaiah 44:28 and fulfilled in Ezra 1:1-4, and the listing of families and their leaders in Ezra 8:1-14 serves to emphasize God's faithfulness in preserving His people, as promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34.
What can we learn from the example of Shelomith and the descendants of Bani in Ezra 8:10?
The example of Shelomith and the 160 men from the descendants of Bani teaches us about the importance of obedience, faith, and community, as seen in Hebrews 11:8 and Acts 2:42-47, and reminds us that our individual actions can be part of a larger movement of God's people working together towards a common goal, as in 1 Corinthians 12:12-27.
Reflection Questions
- What does it mean for me to be part of a community of believers, and how can I contribute to our collective efforts to serve God?
- In what ways can I demonstrate my commitment to God's work, just like Shelomith and the descendants of Bani did in Ezra 8:10?
- How does the faithfulness of God, as seen in the preservation of the Israelites in Ezra 8:10, encourage me to trust in His promises for my own life?
- What are some ways I can show dedication to a particular cause or mission, even if it seems like a small contribution, like the 160 men in Ezra 8:10?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezra 8:10
Of the sons of Phinehas; Gershom: of the sons of Ithamar; Daniel: of the sons of David; Hattush. No JFB commentary on these verses.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezra 8:10
Ezra 8:10 And of the sons of Shelomith; the son of Josiphiah, and with him an hundred and threescore males.Ver. 10. The son of Josiphiah] See Ezra 8:5.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezra 8:10
(10) Here also a name is wanting. The LXX. have, “of the sons of Bani, Shelomith, the son of Josiphiah.”
Cambridge Bible on Ezra 8:10
10. Here, as in Ezra 8:5, the name of the representative is not given, while the name of the house Shelomith does not occur in the other lists. 1Es 8:36 gives “Of the sons of Banid, Assalimoth son of Josaphias”, which is here supported by the LXX. (ἀπὸτῶνυἱῶνΒαανί, ΣελιμοὺθυἱὸςἸωσεφία). This shows the original reading to have been in all probability “of the sons of Bani (cf. Ezra 2:10) Shelomith the son of Josiphiah”.
Whedon's Commentary on Ezra 8:10
5, 10. In Ezra 8:5 the Septuagint inserts Zattu (Ezra 2:8) before Shechaniah, and in Ezra 8:10 Bani (Ezra 2:10) before Shelomith. Compare, also, apocryphal 1Es 8:32; 1Es 8:34.
