Contextual Overview

5 So my God put it in my heart to have all the people meet together. I called together all the important people, the officials, and the common people. I did this so that I could make a list of all the families. I found the family lists of the people who had been the first to return from captivity. This is what I found written there: 6 These are the people of the province who came back from captivity. In the past, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon took them as prisoners to Babylon. These people came back to Jerusalem and Judah. They all went to their own towns. 7 They returned with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, and Baanah. This is the list of names and numbers of men from Israel who came back: 8 the descendants of Parosh 2172 9 the descendants of Shephatiah 372 10 the descendants of Arah 652 11 the descendants of Pahath Moab of the family line of Jeshua and Joab 2818 12 the descendants of Elam 1254 13 the descendants of Zattu 845 14 the descendants of Zaccai 760

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Nehemiah 7:8. The children of Parosh — As this chapter is almost entirely the same with the second chapter of the book of Ezra, it is not necessary to add any thing to what is said there; and to that chapter, and the accompanying notes, the reader is requested to refer.
