SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:18
Y nos trajeron (según la buena mano de nuestro Dios sobre nosotros), un varón entendido de los hijos de Mahli, hijo de Leví, hijo de Israel; y a Serebías con sus hijos y sus hermanos, dieciocho;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. And by the good hand of our God upon us , etc.] Favouring their designs and orders, protecting those that were sent, and inclining those they were sent to use their interest and authority with those that were under them, and making them willing also to agree to what was proposed to them: they brought us a man of understanding of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel ; an Israelite, of the tribe of Levi, in the line of Mahli a son of Merari, the third son of Levi: and Sherebiah ; or rather “even Sherebiah”; so Aben Ezra; for he is the understanding man that is meant, and described by his pedigree: with his sons and his brethren , eighteen; all together made this number.
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!
