SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:16
Entonces despaché a Eliezer, y a Ariel, y a Semaías, y a Elnatán, y a Jarib, y Elnatán, y a Natán, y a Zacarías, y a Mesulam, principales; asimismo a Joiarib y a Elnatán, sabios;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, men of understanding .] These were all in the camp, in some part of it, to whom Ezra sent messengers to come unto him; three of them are of the same name; the first nine were men of chief note, rank, and dignity in their family, and the other two were noted for men of good sense, and that could speak to a case well, and so fit to be sent on such an affair as they were.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-20 - Ezra assembles the outcasts of Israel, and the dispersed of Judah. God raised up the spirits of a small remnant to accompany him. What a pit that good men should omit a good work, for want of being spoken to!
