Gill's Notes on the Bible
The sons of Levi, the chief of the fathers, were written in the book of the chronicles,.... Some think this refers to 1 Chronicles 9:14, c.
until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib from whence Dr. Lightfoot p concludes, that the Chronicles were written by Ezra in the times of this Johanan.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
These verses interrupt the account of the church officers in the time of Joiakim, resumed in Nehemiah 12:24. They appear to be an addition to the original text, made about the time of Alexander the Great, when the Books of Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah would seem to have first taken their existing shape. The same writer who introduced these verses, probably also added Nehemiah 12:11 to the original text.
Darius the Persian - Probably Darius Codomannus (336-331 B.C.), the antagonist of Alexander the Great. See the introduction of the Book of Nehemiah.
This passage shows that the practice of keeping a record of public events in state archives was continued after the return from the captivity, at least to the time of Johanan, the son, i. e., âthe grandson,â of Eliasbib.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 23. The book of the chronicles — This is not the book of Chronicles which we have now, no such list being found in it; but some other book or register, which is lost.
