Gill's Notes on the Bible

So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies,.... Not now by the writer of this book in the preceding chapters; for two of the tribes are not reckoned at all, and the rest but in part; but there had been kept an exact account of them:

and, behold, they were written in the book of the kings of Israel; not in the canonical book or books of Kings, but in the annals, journals, and diaries, which each king took care to be kept with some exactness, often referred to in the preceding books; out of which this writer, under a divine direction, had taken what was proper to be continued, and had carried the genealogy down to the captivity of the ten tribes; but the genealogy being lost with them, he could proceed no further, nor say anything more concerning them:

but Judah; for so the word should be stopped, and read according to the Hebrew accents:

[who] were carried away to Babylon for their transgression; their idolatry, and were now returned again; of them the writer proposes to give a further account.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Rather, “So all Israel were reckoned ... the kings of Israel. And Judah was carried away captive to Babylon for their transgressions.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER IX

All Israel reckoned by genealogies, 1.

The first inhabitants of Jerusalem, after their return from

their captivity, who were chiefs of the fathers, 2-9.

Of the priests, 10-13;

Levites, 14-16;

porters, their work, lodgings, c., 17-29

other officers, 30-32;

the singers, 33, 34.

A repetition of the genealogy of Saul and his sons, 35-44.

NOTES ON CHAP. IX

Verse 1 Chronicles 9:1. Were reckoned by genealogies — Jarchi considers these as the words of Ezra, the compiler of the book; as if he had said: I have given the genealogies of the Israelites as I have found them in a book which was carried into Babylon, when the people were carried thither for their transgressions; and this book which I found is that which I have transcribed in the preceding chapters.
