The people of Judah were exiled to Babylon because they were unfaithful to the Lord . 2 The first of the exiles to return to their property in their former towns were priests, Levites, Temple servants, and other Israelites. 3 Some of the people from the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh came and settled in Jerusalem. 4 One family that returned was that of Uthai son of Ammihud, son of Omri, son of Imri, son of Bani, a descendant of Perez son of Judah. 5 Others returned from the Shilonite clan, including Asaiah (the oldest) and his sons. 6 From the Zerahite clan, Jeuel returned with his relatives.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Azariah the son of Hilkiah,.... That is, the son of Azariah, whose name was Seraiah, see 1 Chronicles 6:13, whose pedigree is traced up from Hilkiah through Meshullam, called Shallum, 1 Chronicles 6:12. Zadok, Meraioth, to Ahitub,

the ruler of the house of God; high priest in it; which is to be understood of Ahitub, and not of Azariah or Seraiah in the time of Ezra; for Joshua was then high priest.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Chronicles 9:11. The ruler of the house of God. — The high priest at this time was Jeshua the son of Jozadak, (Ezra 3:8,) and Seraiah, (Nehemiah 11:11,) called here Azariah, was the ruler of the house; the person next in authority to the high priest, and who probably had the guard of the temple and command of the priests, Levites, c. It is likely that the person here was the same as is called the second priest, 1 Chronicles 9:2 1 Chronicles 25:18, who was the sagan or high priest's deputy. 2 Kings 25:18.
