SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:65
sin sus siervos y siervas, los cuales eran siete mil trescientos treinta y siete; y tenían doscientos cantores y cantoras.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 65. Besides their servants and their maids, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven , etc.] This shows that the greater part of those that returned were of the poorer sort, since there were so few servants that belonged unto them; these came not into the above account: and there were among them two hundred singing men and singing women ; among the servants, who were kept by persons of figure for their pleasure and recreation, (see Ecclesiastes 2:8), for that these were such as were employed in sacred service is not so clear, especially the latter, though some conclude it from ( 1 Chronicles 25:5,6), but rather they were such as were employed at marriages, festivals, and funerals; though Jarchi thinks they were employed by the returning captives, to make them cheerful as they travelled along, (see Gill on “ Isaiah 55:12”). Ver. 66 ,67 Their horses were seven hundred thirty and six, their mules two hundred forty and five, their camels four hundred thirty and five, [their] asses six thousand seven hundred and twenty .] So that the far greatest part of them must walk on foot, since these can be thought to be little more than sufficient to carry their goods or baggage; some copies of the Vulgate Latin read six hundred and thirty six horses f27 .
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 64-70 - Let none complain of the needful expenses of their religion. Seek firs the kingdom of God, his favour and his glory, then will all othe things be added unto them. Their offerings were nothing, compared with the offerings of the princes in David's time; yet, being according to their ability, were as acceptable to God. The Lord will carry u through all undertakings entered on according to his will, with an ai to his glory, and dependence on his assistance. Those who, at the cal of the gospel, renounce sin and return to the Lord, shall be guarde and guided through all perils of the way, and arrive safely at the mansions provided in the holy city of God __________________________________________________________________
