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.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER VIII
The genealogy of the chief persons who went with Ezra from
Babylon, 1-14.
He gathers them together at Ahava; and finding among them no
Levites, he sends confidential persons to the river of Ahava,
who return with many Levites and Nethinim, 15-20.
He proclaims a fast at Ahava for Divine protection on their
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.
They depart from Ahava, and come to Jerusalem, 31, 32.
The vessels are weighed and the weight registered, 33, 34.
They offer burnt-offerings to God, 35
deliver the king's commissions to his lieutenants, by whom they
are furthered in their work, 36.
