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.
