Matthew Henry on Nehemiah 12:17
We have here the names, and little more than the names, of a great many priests and Levites, that were eminent in their day among the returned Jews. Why this register should be here inserted by Nehemiah does not appear, perhaps to keep in remembrance those good men, that posterity might know to whom they were beholden, under God, for the happy revival and re-establishment of their religion among them.
Read Matthew Henry on Nehemiah 12:1–26: The Priests and Levites That Returned. (b. c. 444.)
