Israel. These registers were preserved by those who fled from the arms of Salmanasar, into the kingdom of Juda. Such records were preserved with the utmost care, and were collected by the author; who could give an account of what happened during and after the captivity, as he was an irreproachable eye-witness; not to mention the divine inspiration, which places his testimony out of the reach of criticism. (Calmet)
Menochius
And Juda; perhaps by some historian. (Menochius)

The genealogies of Israel being hitherto recited, now those who came back from captivity appear. (Worthington)

First. He only treats of those who returned first, (Tirinus) under Esdras. (Haydock)
Nehemias brought back others, and more returned afterwards. Many also retook possession of their lands, which they had enjoyed before the captivity, 1 Esdras 3:12.
Nathineans. These were the posterity of the Gabaonites, whose office was to bring wood, water, etc., for the service of the temple. (Challoner) (Josue 9:27.)
Calmet
David and Solomon consigned others of the Chanaanites, whose lives they spared, to perform the same office. They were like public slaves. The number of those who returned was so small, that days were appointed for all the people to help to carry wood for the temple. At Jerusalem the Nathineans, "or people given," resided on the east side of the city; (2 Esdras 2:26.) and other towns were assigned them, 1 Esdras 2:70. (Calmet)
Malvenda
The people continued to be divided into four classes, as they had been before the captivity. (Malvenda)
9:3
Menochius
Manasses. People from these tribes particularly, (Haydock) as well as from others, had fled to the kingdom of Juda, when the Assyrians took their brethren prisoners; and these returned to Jerusalem. (Menochius)
Cyrus gave a general leave for all Israel to return. The country was too spacious for them; and it was found necessary to force the tenth part of the people, by lot, to repair to Jerusalem, as it wanted inhabitants, 2 Esdras 11:1.

High is not expressed in Pontifex; and this Azarias was only (Haydock) one of the principal families; (Menochius; Du Hamel) perhaps the second in dignity; (4 Kings 25:18.) while Jesus was the successor of Aaron, 1 Esdras 3:8. (Calmet)

Tirinus
Carpenter. Hebrew Cheresh, is taken by some to be a surname. Septuagint, "And Ares." It is asserted that the priests and Levites could follow no mechanical profession, (Abulensis) and the Bacbacar only presided over the carpenters, who wrought in the temple. (Menochius) (Tirinus)
Calmet
But why might not people of this order employ themselves in such arts and labours, which were never deemed degrading among the Hebrews, nor incompatible with the sacred ministry, during the leisure hours? (Calmet)

9:18
Calmet
Time. Hebrew, "and hitherto." This custom has been observed at the king's gate, who entered his tribune by the eastern gate of the temple, 4 Kings 16:18. So far the ancient records reach. Some would infer from this passage, that a guard was still kept at the king's gate, even though there was none sitting upon the throne after the captivity. (Calmet)
Haydock
Protestants, ("who hitherto waited in the king's gate eastward.) They were porters in the companies of the children of Levi." (Haydock)

Calmet
This Phinees lived after the captivity, (Menochius) and possessed the same power as Eleazar and Joiada, 1 Paralipomenon 12:27., and Numbers 3:32. It is not necessary to refute the fables of the Rabbins, who pretend that the famous Phinees was an angel, who appeared at different times, and particularly at the return from Babylon. (Calmet)

Hebrew may refer to the ancient Phinees: "And Phinees....was ruler over them formerly, and the Lord was with him." (Du Hamel)

Trust, while they were at the head of affairs, and acting by God's authority.

9:31
Pan, to be offered on the altar of holocausts, (Leviticus 2:4., and 7:12.) or to be eaten by the priests, Ezechiel 46:20. Mathathias was to take care that all this was done with decency, (Calmet) and to look after the utensils.
9:32
Proposition. Hebrew, "of arrangement;" (Exodus 35:13.) "of faces." These loaves were made by the Levites, but arranged upon the golden table every week (Calmet) before the ark. See 1 Paralipomenon 23:92.

These; probably Sellum, etc., (ver. 17) though it is not certain that the chief porters presided also over the singers, 1 Paralipomenon 15.; 1 Paralipomenon 16. Hebrew, "And these are the singers, chief of the families (Calmet; or fathers) of the Levites, in the chambers (of the temple) free" from all other avocations, (Haydock) that they may watch over the porters and musicians. Septuagint is clearer: (Calmet) "And these are the masters of music over the bands of Levites, observing their daily courses, because they are day and night over them in the works." (Haydock)
The sons of Caath seem to be chiefly specified, (ver. 32) though other families sung, 1 Paralipomenon 6:39.
Du Hamel
Chambers, at a distance from their wives, to trim the lamps in the evening, and to see that none were extinguished, (Menochius) as also to teach music, etc. The Synagogues were used afterwards. (Du Hamel)

Menochius
Jerusalem, having no substitute; (chap. 16.) (Haydock) or the chiefs of each family resided there. (Menochius)
9:35
Calmet
And in. These verses are repeated from the last chapter, in order to bring us to the death of Saul, (Menochius) and the reign of David. (Calmet)
Kennicott
"Tis difficult to account for the repetition, provided they were repeated originally; but if they have been repeated through the blunder of a transcriber, the existence of the same words" before them may be the reason. (Kennicott)
Haydock
The father of Gabaon. This is the explanation of Abigabaon, 1 Paralipomenon 8:29. (Haydock)
Haydock
Wife. So the former chapter, and all the ancient versions, with some Hebrew manuscripts, read, instead of the printed Hebrew, "sister," (Kennicott) which seems to be corrupted; (Calmet) and the Protestants venture to correct it. (Haydock)
9:41
Haydock
Tharaa. Hebrew, "Tachrea." (Kennicott) e, is substituted for a. (Haydock)
And Ahaz, is omitted in Hebrew, (Kennicott) and Septuagint.

9:44
Kennicott
These. All is omitted, though it is found [in] 1 Paralipomenon 8:38, and in manuscript 2:(Kennicott)
Haydock
These remarks, which may appear to some minute, shew that all Hebrew manuscripts are not absolutely alike, as some once pretended; and that the Hebrew Bible is not printed from the best copies. (Haydock)
Houbigant
"The sacred volume in Hebrew has, therefore, been published with such carelessness, as no other printed copy with which I am acquainted." (Houbigant, prol. p. 2.)
Haydock
Yet this is the copy, which alone Protestants hold up as the standard of perfection, and the Rule of Faith! (Haydock)

1. UNIVERSUS ERGO ISRAEL DINUMERATUS EST — a Davide, II Reg. XXIV. TRANSLATIQUE SUNT IN BABYLONEM. — Hucusque ergo Esdras recensuit Hebræos, qui captivitatem Babylonicam antecesserunt: deinceps vero recensebit eos qui ex ea redierunt, et post eam vixerunt; ubi nota multos ex Israel, id est decem tribubus post schisma transmigrasse in Jerusalem: tum quia horrebant schisma factum a Jeroboam, volebantque priscam Judæorum religionem sequi, et colere Deum in templo; tum quia cum decem tribus a Theglathphalasar et Salmanasar abductæ sunt in Assyriam, multi ex eis fugerunt in Jerusalem, et Judæis sese associarunt. Hi cum Judæis postea abducti sunt in Babylonem, indeque post 70 annos cum eisdem redierunt in Jerusalem; et hoc est quod hic dicitur. Unde subdit.

9:5
5. ET DE SILONI: — subaudi, filiis. Siloni erat vir celebris, oriundus ex tribu Juda, verum non ex Phares vel Zare, ut ex hoc loco patet, sed ex Sela descendens. Nam hi tres soli fuere Judæ filii superstites, quia Her et Onan a Deo occisi sunt, Genes. XXXVIII.

9:22
22. OMNES HI ELECTI IN OSTIARIOS, etc. DESCRIPTI IN VILLIS PROPRIIS: (Habitabant enim Levitæ aliqui in Jerusalem; alii vero per alias urbes, vicos et villas erant distributi. Unde vers. 25, dicitur: « in viculis morabantur; » certis tamen temporibus, quibus per vices ministrare debebant in templo, veniebant in Jerusalem. Has autem eorum ministrandi vices et ordines) CONSTITUERUNT DAVID, (et ante eum) SAMUEL, VIDENS (sive Propheta, idque) IN FIDE SUA, — hoc est in potestate et auctoritate sibi a Deo et Republica ad id faciendum credita et commissa. Secundo, « in fide sua, » Vatablus, propter fidem ipsorum; fidem, id est fidelitatem; quia scilicet sciebat eos fideles esse et fore, ac fideliter hoc munus obituros. Tertio, per fidem, accipias officium fidele, id est firmum, stabile, perpetuum et irrevocabile, q. d. David et Samuel constituere hosce ostiarios « in fide, » hoc est fideles, id est firmos, stabiles; ut scilicet officium ostiariorum fideliter, id est stabiliter et perpetim exercerent. Ita Vatablus. Hoc enim significat Hebraice באמונתם beemunatham, id est in fide, sive in stabilitate ipsorum.
9:33
33. QUI IN EXEDRIS (id est cubiculis et aulis templo annexis) MORABANTUR, — ut jugiter canendis Dei laudibus, hymnis et psalmis vacarent, utque populum in lege Dei erudirent. Unde et Synagogæ sunt appellatæ.
9:35
35. IN GABAON AUTEM. — Transit a Levitis ad Benjaminitas, ut ad Saulem primum regem Israelis, deinde eo amoto ad Davidem descendat; Davidis enim causa hæc omnia scribuntur, quia ejus familia regia perduravit usque ad captivitatem Babylonicam, imo usque ad Machabæos; sed tum non regia, sed ducali auctoritate præfuit populo.
