10. Jehoiarib ] Spelt Joiarib in Neh 11:10. Jehoiarib and Jedaiah occur as names of the first and second courses of the priests in 1Ch 24:7; Neh 12:6; Neh 12:19. The Maccabees were of the course of Joarib (= Jehoiarib); 1Ma 2:1.
Jachin ] The name of the twenty-first course; 1Ch 24:17.

Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, and Jachin, are not here names of individuals but of priestly families. From 1Ch 24:7-17, it appears that Jehoiarib was the original head of the first course, Jedaiah of the second shift, and Jachin of the twenty-first shift.

And of the priests,…. Who returned and dwelt at Jerusalem:
Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin; Jedaiah was the son of Jehoiarib, and Jachin is called Jachin, Ne 11:10.

The priests. – The three names Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, and Jachin (1Ch 9:10) denote three classes of priests (cf. 1Ch 24:7, 1Ch 24:17), who accordingly dwelt in Jerusalem. There also dwelt there (1Ch 9:11) Azariah the son of Hilkiah, etc., the prince of the house of God; cf. 2Ch 31:13. This is the Azariah mentioned in 1Ch 6:13, the son of Hilkiah, etc., the grandfather of the Jehozadak who was led captive into Babylon. then in 1Ch 9:12 we have two other heads of the priestly fathers’-houses, with an enumeration of their ancestors, through whom they are traced back to the classes of priests to which they belonged respectively, viz., Adaiah to the class Malchijah ( 1Ch 24:9), and Maasiai to the class Immer (1Ch 24:14). According to this, therefore, there dwelt at Jerusalem, of the priesthood, the three classes Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, and Jachin, Azariah the prince of the temple, and of the classes Malchijah and Immer, the fathers’-houses Adaiah and Maasiai. In 1Ch 9:13 the whole number is estimated at 1760. A difficulty is raised by the first words of this verse, “And their brethren, heads of their fathers’-houses, 1760,” which can hardly be taken in any other sense than as denoting that the number of the heads of the fathers’-houses amounted to 1760. This, however, is not conceivable, as “fathers’-houses” are not single households, but larger groups of related families. Moreover, , which is co-ordinate with the heads of the fathers’-houses, can only denote, as in 1Ch 9:6, 1Ch 9:9, the heads of the families which belonged to or constituted the fathers’-houses. To arrive at this meaning, however, we must transpose the words and , connecting with 1Ch 9:12, and with the number, thus: heads of fathers’-houses, etc., were those mentioned in 1Ch 9:12, and their brethren 1760 (men), valiant heroes in the work of the service of the house of God. Before one would expect the word , as in 1Ch 23:24 and Neh 11:12, but its presence is not so absolutely necessary as to warrant us in supposing that it has been dropped out, and in inserting it. may be also taken as an accusative of relation, “valiant heroes in reference to the work;” or at most a a tso may be supplied before , as it might easily have been omitted by a clerical error after the immediately preceding . On comparing our passage with Neh 11:10-14, we find there, if in 1Ch 9:10 be altered into , the same three classes of priests; but instead of Azariah, Seraiah is prince of the house of God, 1Ch 9:11: thereafter we have 822 brethren, performing the work of the house (of God). Then follows Adaiah of the class Malchijah (as in the Chronicles), but with the addition, “his brethren 242;” and then Amashai of the class Immer, but with other ancestors than those of the Maasiai of the Chronicles, and with the addition, “and their brethren, valiant heroes, 128;” and finally, Zabdiel Ben Hagdolim as overseer (president over them).
The sum of the three numbers is 1192, as contrasted with the 1760 of the Chronicle.

(10) And of the priests; Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jaehin.These three names do not designate persons, but three of the priestly courses, or classes, instituted by David according to 1 Chronicles 24, of which Jehoiarib was the first, Jedaiah the second, and Jachin the twenty-first. Neh. 11:10 has Jehoiarib son of Jedaiah, a mistake of the scribe. (Comp. 1Ch. 9:7 and Note; cf. also Ezr. 2:36; Neh. 12:6.)

1Ch 9:10-13
1Ch 9:10-13
“And of the priests: Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, Jachin, and Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshallam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God; and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pushhur, the son of Malchijah, and Maasai the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer; and their brethren, heads of their fathers’ houses, a thousand and seven hundred and threescore; very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.”
E.M. Zerr:
1Ch 9:10-12. The priests would logically dwell in Jerusalem since their work was there. Ruler of the house of God means he was a leader through prestige.
1Ch 9:13. The reason for naming this group as a unit is expressed in V. 13; they were very able men.
