So the priests and the Levites, and some of the people, and the singers, and the Nethinims, dwelt in their cities,.... Which were assigned to them out of the several tribes, and in which they or their forefathers had dwelt before the captivity:
and all Israel in their cities; as those of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, so of the other ten, as many as returned and joined those who were left in the land.

66. horses] The number mentioned here (736) appears in 1Es_5:43 as 7036, a fair sample of the way in which figures could easily undergo alteration by accident or intention.
Before this time we do not find mention of the use of the horse among the Israelites for peaceful purposes. Hitherto the horse had been used for war and for pomp. The considerable number here mentioned is another proof of the presence of considerable wealth. The horse was the possession of the rich and well armed.

mules] About one-third the number of the horses. During the monarchy the mule is the royal animal (1Ki_1:33; 1Ki_1:38; 1Ki_1:44). The mule was scarce and precious like the horse (1Ki_18:5). To be carried by a mule is classed with being carried by a horse or on a litter or in a chariot (Isa_66:20). They were not bred in Palestine. Solomon imported them (1Ki_10:25; 2Ch_9:24). The mules here mentioned were probably ridden by the richest class. In the O.T. we do not read of the mule carrying loads.
