Commentary on Nehemiah 10:9

Theological / Devotional

The Levites. Jeshua, Binnui, and Kadmiel represent the three chief families of Levites who had returned with Zerubbabel (see Ezra 2:40; 3:9; Neh. 7:43; 9:4, 5; etc.). Here, Binnui seems to have supplanted Kadmiel and to have stepped into the second place. Of the remaining names, those of Hashabiah and Sherebiah represent families that returned with Ezra (Ezra 8:18, 19). The remaining names are probably also those of families.
