SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:15
¶ Fueron pues puestos sobre este negocio Jonatán hijo de Asael, y Jahazías hijo de Ticva; y Mesulam y Sabetai, levitas, les ayudaron.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. Only Jonathan the son of Asahel, and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah, were employed about the matter , etc.] To see that this affair was conducted in the manner proposed; that the magistrates of every city brought the persons that had been delinquents, in their turns, of which they gave them notice, and took the account of them as they came: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them ; assisted them in this work; the other two perhaps were priests, and both these Levites; and these four were the only persons appointed over this matter, as the phrase in the preceding clause may signify; though Jarchi interprets it to a quite contrary sense, that they were the only persons that opposed and objected to it; and so Dr. Lightfoot understands it, and renders it, “stood against this matter”; in which they were seconded by the two Levites, and the sense is very probable.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-44 - The best reformers can but do their endeavour; when the Redeeme himself shall come to Zion, he shall effectually turn away ungodlines from Jacob. And when sin is repented of and forsaken, God will forgiv it; but the blood of Christ, our Sin-offering, is the only atonemen which takes away our guilt. No seeming repentance or amendment wil benefit those who reject Him, for self-dependence proves them stil unhumbled. All the names written in the book of life, are those of penitent sinners, not of self-righteous persons, who think they have n need of repentance __________________________________________________________________
