* Who hitherto waited.
   The original is {we(8464) hennah,} which Houbigant and Dr. Geddes
   consider as a proper name, and render, "And Adanah was over
   the eastern gate, called the king's;" i.e., the gate by which
   the kings of Judah went to the temple.  The list is here
   nearly the same with those found in Ezra and Nehemiah, and
   contains those who returned to Jerusalem with Zerubbabel: but
   the list in Nehemiah is more ample, probably because it
   contains those who came afterwards; the object of the sacred
   writer here being to give the names of those who came first,
   (ver. 2.)  These consisted of men belonging not only to the
   tribes of Judah and Benjamin, but to many of the other tribes
   of Israel, who took advantage of the proclamation of Cyrus to
   return to Jerusalem.  Properly speaking, the divisions
   mentioned here constituted the whole of the Israelitish
   people, who were divided into priests, Levites, common
   Israelites, and Nethinims.
