SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:9
Y estuvo Jesúa, sus hijos y sus hermanos, Cadmiel y sus hijos, hijos de Judá, como un varón para dar prisa a los que hacían la obra en la casa de Dios: los hijos de Henadad, sus hijos y sus hermanos, levitas.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 9. Then stood Jeshua, with his sons , etc.] Not Jeshua the high priest before mentioned, but Jeshua the Levite, ( Ezra 2:40), and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together ; the same with Hodaviah, ( Ezra 2:40) to set forward the workmen in the house of God ; to give them orders to begin and lay the foundation, and hasten and animate them to it: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites : two of this man’s sons are mentioned in ( Nehemiah 3:18,24 10:9).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-13 - There was a remarkable mixture of affections upon laying the foundatio of the temple. Those that only knew the misery of having no temple a all, praised the Lord with shouts of joy. To them, even this foundatio seemed great. We ought to be thankful for the beginnings of mercy though it be not yet perfect. But those who remembered the glory of the first temple, and considered how far inferior this was likely to be wept with a loud voice. There was reason for it, and if they bewaile the sin that was the cause of this melancholy change, they did well Yet it was wrong to cast a damp upon the common joys. They despised the day of small things, and were unthankful for the good they enjoyed. Le not the remembrance of former afflictions drown the sense of presen mercies __________________________________________________________________
