      1  The priests and the Levites which came up with Zerubbabel.
    10  The succession of high priests.
    22  Certain chief Levites.
    27  The solemnity of the dedication of the walls.
    44  The offices of priests and Levites appointed in the temple.
    
      We have in this chapter a record of little more than the names
      of a great many priests and Levites, that were eminent in
      their day among the returned Jews.  It is good to know what
      our godly ancestors and predecessors were, that we may learn
      thereby what we should be.

      The variation of [Call-w <\\S#5543h\\>,] Sallu, and [Callay
      <\\S#5543\\>,] Sallai, is simply caused by the mutation of
      [Vƒv,] {wav} and [Y"wd,] {yood.}
    
       * :20

      Jaddua is supposed to be Jaddus the high priest, who went in
      his pontifical robes to meet Alexander the Great, when
      advancing to destroy Jerusalem; who was so struck with his
      appearance, that he forbore all hostilities, and granted many
      privileges to the Jews.  According to Eusebius, he was high
      priest from A.M. 3665 to 3982.

     - A.M. 3559.  B.C. 445.  the dedication.
      Jerusalem was the holy city, and the wall was built under the
      immediate superintendence and blessing of Jehovah:  it was
      therefore proper that it should be dedicated to that God who
      was there worshipped by solemn praises, prayers, and
      sacrifices.  The dedication seems to have consisted in
      processions of the most eminent persons around the walls, with
      thanksgivings to God, who had enabled them to bring the work
      to so happy a conclusion; and, no doubt, to all this were
      added a particular consecration of the city to God, and the
      most earnest invocation that He would take it under His
      guardianship, and defend it and its inhabitants against their
      enemies.
