Who hitherto waited . The original is wead hennah , which Houbigant and Dr. Geddes consider as a proper name , and render , "And Adanah was over the eastern gate , called the king's;" i.e. , the gate by which the kings of Judah went to the temple. The list is here nearly the same with those found in Ezra and Nehemiah , and contains those who returned to Jerusalem with Zerubbabel , but the list in Nehemiah is more ample , probably because it contains those who came afterwards; the object of the sacred writer here being to give the names of those who came first . 1 Chronicles 9 . 2. These consisted of men belonging not only to the tribes of Judah and Benjamin , but to many of the other tribes of Israel , who took advantage of the proclamation of Cyrus to return to Jerusalem. Properly speaking , the divisions mentioned here constituted the whole of the Israelitish people , who were divided into priests , Levites , common Israelites , and Nethinims.

Jerusalem . We have already seen the situation and extent of this ancient city (see note on 1 Chronicles 8 . 28) , but the Jerusalem of sacred history is no more. After having been successively destroyed by the Babylonians and Romans , and taken by the Saracens , Crusaders , and Turks , in the possession of the latter of whom it still continues , not a vestige remains of the capital of David and Solomon , not a monument of Jewish times is standing. The very course of the walls is changed , and the boundaries of the ancient city are become doubtful. The monks pretend to shew the sites of the sacred places; but they have not the slightest pretensions to even a probable identity with the real places. The Jerusalem that now is , however , called by the Arabs El Kouds , or "the holy city ," is still a respectable , good-looking town , of an irregular shape . it is surrounded by high embattled walls , enclosing an area not exceeding two miles and a half , and occupying two small hills , having the valley of Jehoshaphat on the east , the valley of Siloam and Gehinnom on the south , and the valley of Rephaim on the west; and containing a population variously estimated at from 20 ,000 to 30 ,000 souls.

whose . Some editions read achatho , "his sister;" but in the parallel place 1 Chronicles 8 . 29 , it is ishto , "his wife ," which is also the reading of the LXX , Vulgate , Arabic , and Syriac here , and is undoubtedly the true reading. This repetition of part of Bemjamin's genealogy seems to have been intended merely as an introduction to the ensuing history.
