Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Nehemiah 12:26
These [were] in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest, the scribe.
26. These were in the days of Joiakim &c.] As Neh 12:22-23 refer to a later period than that here mentioned, this summary probably refers to the list contained in Neh 12:12-21. Whether it also refers to 24 25 is a doubtful point. But the awkwardness of the verse in its present position, lends some colour to the view that Neh 12:22-23 are an interpolation by the compiler.
It will be observed that two periods are mentioned, the period of Joiakim (circ. 500 b.c.), and that of Nehemiah and Ezra (460 430 b.c.). The verse was clearly written at a date considerably later than Nehemiah’s lifetime.
