أخبار الأيام الأول ٩:١٠

And Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashur,.... In this genealogy, between Jeroham and Pashur, were three more here omitted, Pelaliah, Amzi, Zechariah, Neh 11:12, and then Pashur the son of Malchijah, as here: and Maasiai the son of Adiel; whose pedigree is traced up from hence, through Jahzerah, Meshullam, Meshillemith, to Immer; one of the five heads of the courses settled by David, Ch1 24:14. The names of this man, and of his ancestors, are given, with some variation, in Neh 11:13.

This chapter intimates to us that one end of recording all these genealogies was to direct the Jews, now that they had returned out of captivity, with whom to incorporate and where to reside; for here we have an account of those who first took possession of Jerusalem after their return from Babylon, and began the rebuilding of it upon the old foundation. I. The Israelites (Ch1 9:2-9). II. The priests (Ch1 9:10-13). III. The Levites and other Nethinim (Ch1 9:14-26). IV. Here is the particular charge of some of the priests and Levites (Ch1 9:27-34). V. A repetition of the genealogy of king Saul (Ch1 9:35-44).
