Gill's Notes on the Bible

These are now the chief of their fathers, and this is the genealogy of them,.... Which follows from hence to the end of Ezra 8:14,

that went up with me from Babylon; with Ezra the priest and scribe, the writer of this book:

in the reign of Artaxerxes the king; that is, Darius Hystaspis, in the seventh year of his reign, see Ezra 7:1, though many think Artaxerxes Longimanus is meant.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER VIII

The genealogy of the chief persons who went with Ezra from

Babylon, 1-14.

He gathers them together at Ahava; and finding among them no

Levites, he sends confidential persons to the river of Ahava,

who return with many Levites and Nethinim, 15-20.

He proclaims a fast at Ahava for Divine protection on their

journey, 21-23.

He delivers to the care of the priests c., the silver, gold,

and sacred vessels, that they might carry them to Jerusalem,

and deliver them to the high priest, 24-30.

They depart from Ahava, and come to Jerusalem, 31, 32.

The vessels are weighed and the weight registered, 33, 34.

They offer burnt-offerings to God, 35

deliver the king's commissions to his lieutenants, by whom they

are furthered in their work, 36.
