Neh 11:6 · Douay-Rheims
“All these the sons of Phares, who dwelt in Jerusalem, were four hundred sixty-eight valiant men.”
On this verse:
“And after him,.... That is, Sallu: were Gabbai and Sallai; in all nine hundred and twenty eight; there were more of the tribe of Benjamin than of the tribe of Judah, they having perhaps a greater share in the city, or were better disposed to dwell in it. And after him,.... That is, Sallu: were Gabbai and Sallai; in all nine hundred and twenty eight; there were more of the tribe of Benjamin than of the tribe of Judah, they having perhaps a greater share in the city, or were better disposed to dwell in it. Nehemiah 11:9 neh 11:9 neh 11:9 neh 11:9And Joel the son of Zichri was their overseer,.... Or chief governor of the city: and Judah the son of Senuah was second over the city; or the deputy governor of it; so Pitholaus is called an under governor in Jerusalem by Josephus (l). (l) Antiqu. l. 14. c. 6. sect. 1.”
