Two wagons.3:25,26; 4:24-28sons of Gershon.The Gershonites being fewest in number of able men, had the less burdensome things to carry; for they carried only the curtains, coverings, and hangings, (ch. 4:25, 40.) And although this was a cumbersome carriage, and they needed waggons, yet it was not a heavy one, and they needed few.Numbers 10:17

The list is here nearly the same with those found in Ezra and Nehemiah, and contains those who returned to Jerusalem with Zerubbabel: but the list in Nehemiah is more ample, probably because it contains those who came afterwards; the object of the sacred writer here being to give the names of those who came first, (ver. 2.) These consisted of men belonging not only to the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, but to many of the other tribes of Israel, who took advantage of the proclamation of Cyrus to return to Jerusalem. Properly speaking, the divisions mentioned here constituted the whole of the Israelitish people, who were divided into priests, Levites, common Israelites, and Nethinims. the king's.1Ki 10:5; 2Ki 11:19; Eze 44:2,3; 46:1,2; Ac 3:11they.26:12-19 Ebiasaph.6:22,23Korah.Nu 26:9-11; Ps 42:1; 44:1; 49:1; *titlesgates.
