Joseph Benson’s Bible Commentary

Ezra 8:7

Of the sons of Elam, &c. Concerning these, and the families that follow, to Ezra 8:15, it may be observed, that out of them many went up with Zerubbabel, in the reign of Cyrus, as appears by the account given in the second chapter, and that now more went up with Ezra out of the very same families.
