Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Jedaiah: One of Dr. Kennicott's manuscripts omits, בן [Strong's H1121], ben, "son of," and reads "Jedaiah, Joiarib, Jachin," which is nearly that of the parallel place. Joiarib, יויריב [Strong's H3114], is merely a contracted form of יהויריב [Strong's H3080], Jehoiarib, by the elision of ה, hay. Nehemiah 7:39, Nehemiah 12:19, 1 Chronicles 9:10, Jehoiarib, Ezra 2:36, Ezra 8:16

Joiarib: Nehemiah 12:6

Reciprocal: 1 Chronicles 24:7 - to Jedaiah 2 Chronicles 35:4 - the houses

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ver. 10,11 Of the priests,.... Who dwelt in Jerusalem, of whom the same account is given in these two verses as in 1 Chronicles 9:10, only Seraiah here is called Azariah there.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the margin reference notes. Both accounts appear to be extracts from a public official register which Nehemiah caused to be made of his census. The census itself seems to have been confined to the dwellers at Jerusalem. The subjoined table exhibits the differences between the accounts of the entire population of Jerusalem as given in Nehemiah and in Chronicles:




1 Chron Nehemiah
Tribes of Judah

Of Pharez
468
Of Zerah 690
Tribe of Benjamin 956 928
Tribe of Levi

Priests 1760 1192
Levites
284
Porters 212 172



According to Nehemiah’s numbers, supplemented from Chronicles, the entire adult male population of the city was 3,734, which would give a total population of 14,936. According to Chronicles, supplemented from Nehemiah, the adult males were 4,370, and consequently the entire population, would have been 17,480. As the Nethinims and the Israelites of Ephraim and Manasseh 1 Chronicles 9:3 are not included in either list, we may conclude that the actual number of the inhabitants, after the efforts recorded in Nehemiah 11:1-2, was not much short of 20,000.

Nehemiah 11:16

The outward business of the house of God - Such as the collection of the newly-imposed tax Nehemiah 10:32, the providing of the regular sacrifices, the renewal of vestments, and the like.

Nehemiah 11:17

The principal to begin the thanksgiving - i. e., “the precentor,” or “leader of the choir.”
