Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then stood Jeshua, with his sons,.... 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.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Jeshua - See the marginal reference. Not the high priest, but the head of one of the two Levitical houses which had returned.
Together - The Hebrew phrase is very emphatic - “they stood up as one man.”
