Voici les principaux de la province qui s'établirent à Jérusalem, les autres s'étant établis dans les villes de Juda, chacun dans sa possession, dans sa ville, Israélites, sacrificateurs, Lévites, Néthiniens et enfants des serviteurs de Salomon.
Louis Segond (1910)

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Now: There is a good deal of difference between this enumeration and that in Chronicles; as this comprehends not only those who came first with Zerubbabel, but also those who came with Ezra and Nehemiah. See note on 1 Chronicles 9:18.

the chief: Nehemiah 7:6, Ezra 2:1

Israel: Nehemiah 7:73, 1 Chronicles 9:1-3, Ezra 2:70

Nethinims: Ezra 2:43, Ezra 2:55

the children: Nehemiah 7:57-60, Ezra 2:55-58

Reciprocal: Joshua 9:27 - made them 1 Kings 9:21 - bondservice 1 Chronicles 9:2 - the first Ezra 5:8 - the province Nehemiah 1:3 - the province Nehemiah 7:1 - the porters Psalms 107:7 - that they Zechariah 1:17 - My cities

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now these are the chief of the province that dwelt in Jerusalem,.... That is, of Judea, reduced to a province by the king of Babylon, and now a province of the Persian monarchy:

but in the cities of Judah dwelt everyone in his possession in their cities; in which they or their ancestors had formerly dwelt: to wit, Israel: the people in general of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, and such of the other tribes that returned with them:

the priests, and the Levites, and the Nethinims, and the children of Solomon's servants; of whom see Ezra 2:55.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Nehemiah 11:3. Now these are the chief — A good deal of difference will be found between the enumeration here and that in 1 Chronicles 9:2, c. There, those only who came with Zerubbabel appear to be numbered here, those, and the persons who came with Ezra and Nehemiah, enter into the account.
