Vellum leaf from c. 1240 France, pearl script. 1 Chronicles 9 is the ninth chapter of the Books of Chronicles in the Hebrew Bible or the First Book of Chronicles in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.Ackroyd 1993 113Mathys 2007 268 The book is compiled from older sources by an unknown person or group, designated by modern scholars as "the Chronicler", and had the final shape established in late fifth or fourth century BCE.Ackroyd 1993 113–114 This chapter contains list of Jerusalem's inhabitants in the post-exilic period (verses 1–34), and closes with the family of Saul (verses 35–44), an almost literal repetition of the list of descendants in 1 Chronicles 8:29–38.Mathys 2007 272 The first part of the chapter (verses 1–34) belongs to the section focusing on the list of genealogies from Adam to the lists of the people returning from exile in Babylon (1 Chronicles 1:1 to 9:34), whereas the second part (verses 35–44) belongs to the section focusing on the kingship of David (1 Chronicles 9:35 to 29:30).Ackroyd 1993 113 Text This chapter was originally written in the Hebrew language. It is divided into 44 verses. Textual witnesses Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text tradition, which includes the Aleppo Codex (10th century), and Codex Leningradensis (1008).Würthwein 1995 35-37 There is also a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint, made in the last few centuries BCE. Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; B; 4th century), Codex Sinaiticus (S; BHK: S; 4th centuryThe extant Codex Sinaiticus only contains 1 Chronicles 9:27–19:17.Würthwein Ernst Der Text des Alten Testaments Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft 2nd Stuttgart 1988 85 3-438-06006-XSwete Henry Barclay Henry Barclay Swete An Introduction to the Old Testament in Greek Macmillan and Co.

Other translations are rendered 'the main, most important residents', 'the first inhabitants from old'.Mathys 2007 273 Compared to Nehemiah 11:3 9, the words/phrases 'province' as well as 'and the descendants of Solomon's servants', are omitted by the Chronicler.Mathys 2007 273 Verse 3 And in Jerusalem dwelt of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim, and Manasseh;1 Chronicles 9:3 KJV KJV "Ephraim, and Manasseh": is a unique information in the Chronicles, implying that some 'residents of the northern kingdom who were loyal to YHWH and repeatedly called upon to find asylum in Judah/Jerusalem on religious grounds' have indeed repeatedly heeded the calls.Mathys 2007 273 Verse 10 And of the priests; Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin,1 Chronicles 9:10 KJV KJV "Jedaiah": The name of the second of "24 Priestly Divisions" in 1 Chronicles 24.Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges. 1 Chronicles 24. Accessed 28 April 2019. One fragment of Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q325; "Mishmarot D") mentions: "The beginning of the se[cond] month is [on the si]xth [day] of the course of Jedaiah. On the second of the month is the Sabbath of the course of Harim...."Wise Abegg Cook 1996 317 "Jehoiarib": The name of the first of "24 Priestly Divisions" in 1 Chronicles 24. In Talmud Arakhin 11b Rabbi Yosei ben Halafta states that when Solomon's Temple was burnt on the ninth of Ab [586 BCE] the 'priestly guard' was of Jehoiarib division, and they were singing Psalm 94, but only to the first half of Psalm 94:23 9 (until "their own wickedness") before 'the enemies came and overwhelmed them'.Rabbi Dr. I. Epstein, translator. "The Babylonian Talmud". The Soncino Press. New York, 1990; apud Torahcalendar.com. Mattathias ben Johanan was a descendant of Jehoiarib according to 1 Maccabees 2:1 9.Mathys 2007 280 "Jachin": The name of the twenty-first of "24 Priestly Divisions" in 1 Chronicles 24. The gatekeepers (9:17–34) The gatekeepers (or 'porters') are described at length as members of the Levite families (cf. Nehemiah 11:19 9ff; they are listed separately from other 'Levites'), with specific duties (verses 18–19) to guard 'thresholds of the tent' as well as the entrances. These duties were established during the desert-dwelling period and had not changed since that time. These gatekeepers are different from the singers, who only began to hold their office when their job as bearers of the ark became unnecessary (cf. 1 Chronicles 6:13 9).Mathys 2007 273 Apart from guard duties, the gatekeepers were also in charge of utensils, furniture, materials for service, and baking the flat cakes and "rows of bread" (cf. Leviticus 24:5–9 9).Coogan 2007 591–592 Hebrew Bible 1 Chronicles 26:1–19 9 also give special attention to gatekeepers.Endres 2012 27 The family of King Saul (9:35–44) This section focuses on the genealogy of Saul, the first ruler of Israel, nearly identical to the list in 1 Chronicles 8:29–38, to conclude the genealogies of the tribes of Israel.Endres 2012 27Mathys 2007 272–273 Verse 39 And Ner begat Kish, and Kish begat Saul, and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.1 Chronicles 9:39 KJV KJV "Eshbaal": from Hebrew: meaning "man of Baal", probably the original name of Saul's son that was 'corrected and disfigured' in 2 Samuel 2:8 9 (etc.) into "Ishbosheth" (meaning "man of shame"), to conceal the 'baal' component (which can be related to the Canaanite god, "Baal"; also the name "Baal" in verse 30 and "Meribbaal" in verse 34Endres 2012 25).Mathys 2007 272 In 1 Samuel 14:49 9, he is known as "Ishvi".Mathys 2007 272Note [a] and [b] on 1 Chronicels 8:33 in NASB Verse 40 And the son of Jonathan was Meribbaal: and Meribbaal begat Micah.1 Chronicles 9:40 KJV KJV "Meribbaal": written as "Mephibosheth" in 2 Samuel 4:4 9.Note on 1 Chronicels 9:40 in NASB See also 22em Chronology of the Bible David and Jonathan House of Saul Levite Related Bible parts: Genesis 46, Numbers 26, 2 Samuel 2, 1 Chronicles 8, 1 Chronicles 10, 1 Chronicles 26, Nehemiah 11 Notes References Sources Ackroyd Peter R Chronicles, Books of Metzger Bruce M Bruce M.
