Commentary on 1 Chronicles 9:3

Theological / Devotional

And in Jerusalem. Verses 3 to 17 seem to correspond to Neh. 11:4-19, although opinions vary as to whether the list in Chronicles describes the inhabitants before or after the Exile. The two accounts are not identical, but those who claim that both are postexilic believe that they were taken from the same longer source, with each compiler selecting his own list of representative names.
