Maaseiah In 1 Chronicles 9:5, -And of the Shilonites; Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons."

the son of Shiloni R.V. the son of the Shilonite. The word for -son of (ben) has probably been inserted by copyists who mistook the patronymic -Shilonite" for a proper name. The word -Shilonite" has nothing to do with the town Shiloh; but is the patronymic form denoting a descendant of Shelah, son of Judah (Numbers 26:20). The Chronicles list mentions also the name of Jeuel, son of Zerah, Judah's third son; but in this passage the Zerahites have disappeared. Their line may have become extinct, or been merged in one of the brother's houses; or is it omitted here, because -the children of Zerah, the son of Judah" are represented in Nehemiah 11:24 by Pethahiah?

Col-hozeh This name has occurred in chap. Nehemiah 3:15.
