And from among the priests: the descendants of Hobaiah, the descendants of Hakkoz, and the descendants of Barzillai (who had married a daughter of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called by their name). These men searched for their family records, but they could not find them and so were excluded from the priesthood as unclean. The governor ordered them not to eat the most holy things until there was a priest to consult the Urim and Thummim. The whole assembly numbered 42,360, in addition to their 7,337 menservants and maidservants, as well as their 200 male and female singers. They had 736 horses, 245 mules, 435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys. When they arrived at the house of the LORD in Jerusalem, some of the heads of the families gave freewill offerings to rebuild the house of God on its original site. According to their ability, they gave to the treasury for this work 61,000 darics of gold, 5,000 minas of silver, and 100 priestly garments. So the priests, the Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the temple servants, along with some of the people, settled in their own towns; and the rest of the Israelites settled in their towns. |

Nehemiah 10:14 Summary
[This verse lists the names of some of the leaders of the people who were part of the group that sealed the covenant with God. These leaders were making a promise to follow God's laws and commands, just like the Israelites did in Exodus 19:1-24:18 and Deuteronomy 29:1-30:20. By looking at the examples of these leaders, we can learn about the importance of commitment and obedience to God. As we read in Proverbs 28:1, 'The righteous are as bold as a lion,' and we can be bold in our faith by following God's commands and being faithful leaders in our own lives.]

The chief of the people, i.e. their elders, or representatives, acting in the stead and by the appointment of all the rest; for it had been troublesome and unnecessary for every one of the people to seal.
Ellicott's Commentary on Nehemiah 10:14
(14) The chief of the people.—Some of the names are personal, some belong to families, some represent places, and some are independent. Comparing the list with Ezra 2, we find that years had added to the number of the houses.
