Neemias 12:22 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 12:22

The Levites, in the days of Eliashib The third priest of the second temple:

Joiada;
he was the son of Eliashib, and the fourth high priest:

and Johanan;
the same with Jonathan, ( Nehemiah 12:11 ) and whom Josephus ^F15 also calls Joannes:

and Jaddua;
the same as in ( Nehemiah 12:10 ) in the days of each of these were

recorded chief of the fathers;
the principal men among the Levites:

also the priests, to the reign of Darius the Persian;
thought to be Darius Codomannus, the last king of the Persian monarchy, whom Alexander conquered; and if so, this verse must be inserted after the death of Nehemiah, and as the next verse also seems to be; for these two verses interrupt the natural order of the relation: an account is given of the priests in the times of Joiakim, ( Nehemiah 12:12-21 ) , these verses being inserted, the account goes on, ( Nehemiah 12:24 ) of the chief of the Levites in the times of Joiakim only.

23 Os filhos de Levi, chefes de casas paternas, foram inscritos no livro das crônicas, até os dias de Joanã, filho de Eliasibe.

24 Foram, pois, os chefes dos levitas: Hasabias, Serebias, Jesuá, filho de Cadmiel, e seus irmãos que ficavam defronte deles, turma contra turma, para louvarem e darem graças, segundo a ordem de Davi, homem de Deus.
