Gill's Notes on the Bible

And of the Shilonites,.... Not called so from the city of Shiloh, which was in Ephraim; whereas these here intended were of the tribe of Judah, and were either the descendants of a man whose name was Shiloni, Nehemiah 11:5 or rather these are the same with the Shelanites, Numbers 26:20 so called from Shelah the son of Judah; and so the Targum here is,

"and of the tribe of Shelah:''

Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons; the same with Maaseiah, Nehemiah 11:5.
