the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hasenuah ] Some critics would read “and Hodaviah the son of Hasenuah” and would identify this person with the “Judah the son of Has-senuah” of Neh 11:9.

Salu the son of Meshullam, who is mentioned, but described by other parents, Neh 11:7, or at least by persons under other names. Possibly these were his more immediate, and those his more remote parents; or he might be born of one, and adopted by another. For this is certain, men are sometimes in Scripture called the sons of those who adopted them, or whose right of inheritance fell to them.

And of the sons of Benjamin,…. Who were of the tribe of Benjamin, and went with Judah into captivity, and returned with them, and such of them as dwelt in Jerusalem before that:
Sallu the son of Meshullam; whose pedigree is differently given, Ne 11:7,
the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenaah; perhaps these men had two names, there called Joel and Pedaiah.

Of the sons of Benjamin, i.e., of the Benjamites, four heads are named, Sallu, Ibneiah, Elah, and Meshullam; and of the first and fourth of these, three generations of ancestors are mentioned, of the second only the father, of the third the father and grandfather. “And their brethren according to their generations, 956;” cf. on 1Ch 9:6. “All these men” are not the brethren whose number is given, but the heads who have been mentioned by name. Now, if we compare this with Neh 11, we meet in 1Ch 9:7-9 with only one of the four heads of Benjamin, Sallu, and that too, as in the Chronicle, as a son of Meshullam, while the ancestors of both are different. Instead of the three others in 1Ch 9:8, we have , 928; and in 1Ch 9:9, as overseer (prefect), and Jehudah as ruler over the city.

(7) And of the sons of Benjamin.The parallel passage (Neh. 11:7) starts with Sallu the son of Me-shullam, but continues, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, and carries the ancestry four generations further back.
The son of Hodaviah, the son of Hasenuah.Perhaps we should read and Hodaviah, instead of son of Hodaviah. (See Note on 1Ch. 9:9-10.) The name Hodaviah, which occurred 1Ch. 5:24, is a peculiar Aramaizing form of Hoduyah (Thank the Lord). Perhaps here the true reading is whudah. and Judah. Comp. Neh. 11:9, Judah the son of Senuali (Heb. ha-Senuah).

1Ch 9:7. Sallu the son of Meshullam Who is mentioned, but described by other parents, (Neh 11:7,) or at least by persons under other names. Possibly these were his more immediate, and those his more remote parents: or he might be begotten by the one, and adopted by the other. For it is certain that men are sometimes, in Scripture, called the sons of those that adopted them, or whose right of inheritance fell to them.
