Nehemiah 11:4

And at Jerusalem R.V. And in Jerusalem. In the Chronicles list after -the children of Benjamin" are mentioned -and of the children of Ephraim and Manasseh."

Athaiah the son of Uzziah, &c. In 1 Chronicles 9:4 the house of Perez is represented by -Uthai the son of Ammihud."

But the names of their respective ancestors are different; and it is possible that two different men are intended.

Perez or Pharez. Cf. Gen 38:29; 1 Chronicles 4:1.
