Clarke's Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 10:1
Verse 1. Now those that sealed] Four classes here seal. Nehemiah first, as their governor. And after him, secondly, The priests, ver. 2-8. Thirdly, The Levites, ver. 9-13. Fourthly, The chiefs of the people, ver. 14-27. It is strange that, among all these, we hear nothing of Ezra, nor of the high priest Eliashib. Nor are any of the prophets mentioned, though there must have been some of them at Jerusalem at this time.
The whole of this chapter, the two first verses excepted, is wanting in the Arabic; the word Pashur of the third verse is retained; and the rest of the chapter is summed up in these words, and the rest of their assembly.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 1-27 . Now those that sealed were , etc.] That sealed the covenant, made ( Nehemiah 9:38). Nehemiah the Tirshatha, the son of Hachaliah ; the governor of the Jews: and Zidkijah ; who seems also to have been a prince, since, without, it could not be said it was sealed by their princes, ( Nehemiah 9:38) though some think both these were priests, and then the princes must be supposed to be among the chief of the people, ( Nehemiah 10:14), from hence to the end of the twenty seventh their names follow; the names of the priests, ( Nehemiah 10:2-8), who were in all twenty one; no mention is made either of Eliashib the high priest, nor of Ezra the priest and scribe; some think the former had not behaved well in his office, and that the latter was either sick, or returned to Babylon, or however hindered by some providence or another, since we hear of him both a little before and after, ( Nehemiah 8:2,13 12:36) then the names of the Levites, ( Nehemiah 10:9-13), in all seventeen, most of which we have met with in this book before; next follow the names of the chief of the people, ( Nehemiah 10:14-27), their number in all forty four; and their names may be observed in the list of those that came out of Babylon with Zerubbabel; the whole number of those that sealed, princes, priests, Levites, and chief of the people, were eighty four.

Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-31 - Conversion is separating from the course and custom of this world devoting ourselves to the conduct directed by the word of God. When we bind ourselves to do the commandments of God, it is to do all his commandments, and to look to him as the Lord, and our Lord.
