Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Nehemiah 10:11
Micha, Rehob, Hashabiah,
11. Micha ] R.V. Mica.
There are 17 names of ‘Levites’ or ‘Levitical houses’: of these 17, we find four, i.e. Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel and Sherebiah, mentioned in Neh 12:8 among ‘those that went up with Zerubbabel’; and seven (i.e. Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Kelita, Hanan and Pelaiah) in Neh 8:7; and eight (i.e. Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Sherebiah, Chenani = Hanan, Hashabneiah = Hashabiah, Hodiah) in Neh 9:4-5. It is to be observed that ( a) besides Binnui, we have also Bani and Beninu (see note on Neh 9:4); ( b) the names Hodiah and Shebaniah occur twice in the present list; ( c) only four names, i.e. Mica, Rehob, Zaccur and Beninu, fail to appear in the other lists, and of these Mica and Rehob do not occur elsewhere, while Beninu is possibly a wrong reading for Bani or Binnui, and Zaccur’s name may be the same as ‘the son of Asaph’ (Neh 12:35) or ‘the father of Hanan’ (Neh 13:13) or ‘the son of Imri’ (Neh 3:2); ( d) as in the case of the priests, the names represent divisions or houses of the Levites, not individuals.
