Who hitherto waited: The original is wead 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 - 1 Chronicles 9:2. 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. the king’s: 1 Kings 10:5, 2 Kings 11:19, Ezekiel 44:2, Ezekiel 44:3, Ezekiel 46:1, Ezekiel 46:2, Acts 3:11 they: 1 Chronicles 26:12-19 Reciprocal: 2 Chronicles 9:4 - ascent Nehemiah 11:3 - Now Jeremiah 35:4 - the keeper Ezekiel 40:6 - unto

chief fathers: 1 Chronicles 9:13, Nehemiah 11:1-15 Jerusalem: We have already seen the situation and extent of this ancient city (see note on 1 Chronicles 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.

This repetition of part of Bemjamin’s genealogy seems to have been intended merely as an introduction to the ensuing history.
