TSK - NEHEMIAH 11

  1  The rulers, voluntary men, and the tenth man chosen by lot,
    dwell at Jerusalem.
 3  A catalogue of their names.
20  The residue dwell in other cities.


VERSE 1
- the rulers.
   * Ne 7:4,5 De 17:8,9 Ps 122:5
- cast lots.
  Jerusalem certainly had many inhabitants at this time, but not
  sufficient to preserve the city, which was now encompassed
  with a wall, the building of which was going on fast.
  Nehemiah, therefore, obliged one-tenth of the country people
  to come and dwell in it, that the population might be
  sufficient for the defence of the city.  Some volunteered
  their services, which was at that time considered a sacrifice
  to patriotism; as Jerusalem then afforded very few advantages,
  and was a place of considerable danger:  hence "the people
  blessed them that willingly offered themselves."

   * Ne 10:34 Jos 18:10 1Ch 26:13 Pr 16:33 Ac 1:24
- one of ten.
   * Jud 20:9,10
- the holy.
   * :18 Isa 48:2; 52:1 Mt 4:5; 27:53


VERSE 2 
 - blessed.
   * De 24:13 Job 29:13; 31:20
- willingly.
   * Jud 5:9 2Co 8:16,17


VERSE 3 
 - Now.
  There is a good deal of difference between this enumeration
  and that in Chronicles; as this comprehends not only those who
  came first with Zerubbabel, but also those who came with Ezra
  and Nehemiah:  see on 1 Ch 18 9:18.

- the chief.
   * Ne 7:6 Ezr 2:1
- Israel.
   * Ne 7:73 1Ch 9:1-3 Ezr 2:70
- Nethinims.
   * Ezr 2:43,55
- the children.
   * Ne 7:57-60 Ezr 2:55-58


VERSE 4 
 - dwelt.
   * 1Ch 9:3,4-9
- Perez.
  The variation of Pharez and Perez is only found in the
  translation; the original being uniformly [Perets
  <\\S#6557h\\>.]

   * Ge 38:29 Ru 4:18
- Pharez.
   * Mt 1:3 Lu 3:33
- Phares.


VERSE 5 
 - Col-hozeh.
   * Ne 3:15
- Shiloni.
  Some suppose Shiloni to be the name of a man; others derive it
  from Shiloh, the city so called; and others derive it from
  Shelah, son of Judah.

   * Ge 38:5
- Shelah.
   * Nu 26:20
- Shelanites.
   * 1Ch 4:21; 9:5

VERSE 6


VERSE 7 
 - the sons.
   * 1Ch 9:7-9
- Joed.
  It is probable that Joed was also called Hodaviah, and that
  Pedaiah had also the name of Hasenuah.


VERSE 8 
 - Gabbai.  i.e., exactor of tribute; collective.  Sallai.
  i.e., lifted up of the Lord.
   * Ne 12:20


VERSE 9 
 - Judah.
   * 1Ch 9:7
- Hodaviah.  Hasenuah.


VERSE 10 
 - Jedaiah.
  One of Dr. Kennicott's MSS. omits, [bˆn <\\S#1121h\\>,]
  {ben,} "son of," and reads "Jedaiah, Joiarib, Jachin:"  which
  is nearly that of the parallel place.  Joiarib, [Y"wyƒrŒyb
  <\\S#3114h\\>,] is merely a contracted form of [Yeh"wyƒrŒyb
  <\\S#3080h\\>,] Jehoiarib, by the elision of [Hˆ',] {hay.}

   * Ne 7:39; 12:19 1Ch 9:10
- Jehoiarib.
   * Ezr 2:36; 8:16
- Joiarib.
   * Ne 12:6


VERSE 11 
 - Seraiah.
  Seraiah probably had also the name of Azariah.

   * 1Ch 6:7-14; 9:11
- Azariah.
   * Ezr 7:1-5
- the ruler.
  He had the command over all secular matters; as the high
  priest had over all those which were spiritual.

   * Nu 3:32 1Ch 9:1 2Ch 19:11; 31:13 Ac 5:24


VERSE 12 
 - Adaiah.
   * 1Ch 9:12,13


VERSE 13 
 - Amashai.  i.e., burdensome; burden borne of the Lord; people
  of my spoilers; gift of the people.  <\\S#6023h\\>.
- Ahasai.  i.e., possessor of God; protector; my possessions.

VERSE 17
