Gill's Notes on the Bible
These are now the chief of their fathers, and this is the genealogy of them,.... Which follows from hence to the end of Ezra 8:14,
that went up with me from Babylon; with Ezra the priest and scribe, the writer of this book:
in the reign of Artaxerxes the king; that is, Darius Hystaspis, in the seventh year of his reign, see Ezra 7:1, though many think Artaxerxes Longimanus is meant.

who return with many Levites and Nethinim, 15-20.

journey, 21-23.
He delivers to the care of the priests c., the silver, gold,
and sacred vessels, that they might carry them to Jerusalem,
and deliver them to the high priest, 24-30.
