SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:3
Y habitaron en Jerusalén de los hijos de Judá, de los hijos de Benjamín, de los hijos de Efraín y Manasés:
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 9:3
Verse 3. And in Jerusalem dwelt] Several of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh, took advantage of the proclamation of Cyrus to return to Jerusalem, and so mingled with the Israelites, and those to whom Jerusalem had previously appertained; and this was necessary in order to provide a sufficient population for so large a city.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 3. And in Jerusalem dwelt of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin , etc.] Of which tribes were the largest number that went into, and returned out of, captivity: and of the children of Ephraim and Manasseh ; such of those tribes who had joined the others when Jeroboam introduced his idolatry, or had fled to them when Samaria was besieged and taken by Shalmaneser, and so went into captivity with Judah, and now returned; and as many of them as took the advantage of the proclamation of Cyrus, who were carried captive with the ten tribes.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Genealogies. --This chapter expresses that one end of recording all thes genealogies was, to direct the Jews, when they returned out of captivity, with whom to unite, and where to reside. Here is an accoun of the good state into which the affairs of religion were put, on the return from Babylon. Every one knew his charge. Work is likely to be done well when every one knows the duty of his place, and makes business of it. God is the God of order. Thus was the temple a figur of the heavenly one, where they rest not day nor night from praisin God, Re 4:8. Blessed be His name, believers there shall, not in turn but all together, without interruption, praise him night and day: ma the Lord make each of us fit for the inheritance of the saints in light __________________________________________________________________
