“The priests: the children of Idaia in the house of Josue, nine hundred and seventy-three.”
On this verse:
“OF THE PRIESTS. (Neh. 7:39-73) The priests--It appears that only four of the courses of the priests returned from the captivity; and that the course of Abia (Luk 1:5) is not in the list. But it must be noticed that these four courses were afterwards divided into twenty-four, which retained the names of the original courses which David appointed.”
