Verse 1 Chronicles 9:11. _THE RULER OF THE HOUSE OF GOD._] The high priest at this time was _Jeshua_ the son of _Jozadak_, (Ezra 3:8,) and _Seraiah_, (Nehemiah 11:11,) called here _Azariah_, was the _ruler of the house_; the person next in authority to the high priest, and who probably had the guard of the temple and command of the priests, Levites, c. It is likely that the person here was the same as is called the _second priest_, 1 Chronicles 9:2 1 Chronicles 25:18, who was the _sagan_ or hi...

EXPOSITION 1 CHRONICLES 9:1 SO ALL ISRAEL WERE RECKONED BY GENEALOGIES. The Hebrew verb (חִתְיַחְשׂי) is sufficiently satisfied by the rendering _were enrolled_,_ _or _were registered. _THE BOOK OF THE KINGS OF ISRAEL AND JUDAH. The book referred to is often styled "The book of the kings of Israel" (2 Chronicles 20:34; 2 Chronicles 33:18); and it is more probable that that is the intended title here, and that the words should follow thus: AND JUDAH WERE CARRIED CAPTIVE TO BABYLON BECAUSE OF THEIR TRANSGRESSIONS. This the Masoretic accenting dictates, though the Septuagint, Vulgate, an

AND AZARIAH THE SON OF HILKIAH,.... That is, the son of Azariah, whose name was Seraiah, see 1 Chronicles 6:13, whose pedigree is traced up from Hilkiah through Meshullam, called Shallum, 1 Chronicles 6:12.

PART I (1 Chronicles 1-9). GENEALOGICAL LISTS, TOGETHER WITH GEOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL NOTES. These Chapter s form a general introduction to the whole work. They contain the following genealogies, often in an incomplete form: Adam to Israel (1 Chronicles 1:1 to 1 Chronicles 2:2) with the exception of Cain's descendants (Genesis 4:16) the whole material is taken from Genesis 1-36; Judah (1 Chronicles 2:3); David (1 Chronicles 3:1); Judah again, and made up of fragments ...

AZARIAH. In Nehemiah 11:11 the same enumeration, but Seraiah. This is explained in 1 Chronicles 6:12 above. THE RULER OF THE HOUSE OF GOD. Applied to the high priest: at this time Ahitub (1 Chronicles 6:11). Later it was Joshua the high priest (Ezra 3:2.Zechariah 3:1; Zechariah 6:11). Compare 2 Chronicles 31:13;...

_Azariah_ In Nehemiah 11:11, _Seraiah_. _the ruler of the house of God_ This title could perhaps be borne by the highpriest (2 Chronicles 31:10; 2 Chronicles 31:13), but in any case it was not confined to him (_ib._2 Chronicles 35:8, where several such "rulers" are mentioned)....

THE RULER OF THE HOUSE OF GOD— Rather _a ruler;_ for he was not the high-priest. See Ezra 3:2 and Haggai 1:1. REFLECTIONS.—Israel never more returned from Assyria; there all their genealogies perished; so that the writer could carry them no farther: _but Judah_ (as it should be rendered) being returned again, their families were preserved, and the places where their ancestors resided, particularly those who were fixed at Jerusalem. It is remarked, that they were carried away _for their transgression,_ a warning to those who were returned, to beware of their fathers' sins. Many of Ephraim and Manasseh, either at the captivity of Israel, or when Judah was in Babylon, joined them, and returned with them to Jerusalem. It is a mercy if affliction drive us together, and, forgetting former variance, w

Saul's house and his ruin at the hands of the Philistines is recounted. TEXT 1 Chronicles 9:1. So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies; and, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel. And Judah was carried away captive to Babylon for their transgression. 2. Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions in their cities were Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the Nethinim. 3.
