8. Moreover the Levites] This list of Levite houses which returned along with Zerubbabel consists of eight names, Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Unni. In Ezr_2:40-42, the list of the Levites and singers that returned consists of Jeshua, Kadmiel, Hodaviah (?), and the children of Asaph. Other Levitical lists occur in Neh_10:9-14, Neh_12:24-26. Jeshua and Kadmiel occur in all the lists. Binnui represents ‘the sons of Henadad’, cf. Ezr_3:9 with Neh_3:24; Neh_10:10, who probably returned to Jerusalem in the year after Zerubbabel. Sherebiah’s name occurs in Neh_8:7, Neh_9:4, Neh_10:13. Judah is probably to be identified with Hodijah in Neh_10:10. Mattaniah is mentioned in Neh_11:17 as an Asaphite chief. It is probable therefore that he represents ‘the children of Asaph’ in Ezr_2:41, while other families of ‘the singers’ are represented by Bakbukiah (? = Bukkiah of the sons of Heman, 1Ch_25:4), who is mentioned in Neh_11:17, and by Unno = Unni (1Ch_15:18; 1Ch_15:20).
the thanksgiving] R.V. marg. ‘Or, the choirs’. The Hebrew word only occurs here; and the LXX. not understanding it renders ἐπὶ τῶν χειρῶν. The Vulgate gives ‘super hymnos.’ Compare the description of Mattaniah, the Asaphite, in Neh_11:17, ‘the chief to begin the thanksgiving in prayer.’

Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, etc. Here again families are probably intended, as in Ezr_2:40 Ezr_3:9 Neh_9:4, Neh_9:5, etc., though it is possible that the founders of the families actually returned with Zerubbabel. Jeshua, Binnui, and Kadmiel appear as the leading Levitical families at the sealing of the covenant. (Neh_10:9) On Mattaniah see the comment upon Neh_11:17.
