INTRODUCTION TO 1 CHRONICLES 9 The genealogies of the several tribes being given, according as they were written in the books of the kings of Israel, Ch1 9:1, an account follows of those who first settled in Jerusalem after their return from the Babylonish captivity; of the Israelites, Ch1 9:2, of the priests, Ch1 9:10 of the Levites, and of the charge and offices of several of the priests and Levites, Ch1 9:14, and the chapter is concluded with a repetition of the genealogy of the ancestors and posterity of Saul king of Israel, Ch1 9:35.

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).
