(5) And of the Shilonites.—Shilonite means “man of Shiloh,” the ancient capital of Ephraim; whereas 1Ch_9:4-6 have to do with Judah. The three sons of Judah, after whom three great sub-tribal divisions were named, were Pharez, Shelah, and Zarah (Genesis 38). The clan of Shelah was called the Shelanite (Num_26:20), and that is doubtless the correct reading here (see 1Ch_2:3; 1Ch_4:21), supported as it is by the LXX. (Σηλωνι) and the Targum.
Asaiah (“Jah hath wrought”) is essentially the same as “Maaseiah” (“Work of Jah”) in Neh_11:5, where six progenitors are enumerated.
