What is the Tribe of Benjamin?
Why does 1 Chronicles 9:3 include tribes like Ephraim and Manasseh in Jerusalem, contradicting other passages indicating they didn't return?
How many fighting men were found in Judah? Five hundred thousand (2 Samuel 24:9) Four hundred and seventy thousand (I Chronicles 21:5)
Can the pit allegedly attributed to King Asa (Jeremiah 41:9) be historically verified, or does this contradict known archaeological data?IX. (3)And in Jerusalem dwelt (some)of the children of Judah, and (some)of the children ofBenjamin.--This sentence is word for word the same withNehemiah 11:4 a. The next clause, "and some of the children of Ephraim, and Manasseh," is not found in Nehemiah, and nothing further is said in the present chapter concerning these two tribes. But so far from proving the clause to be a figment of the chronicler's, this fact only indicates that he has chosen to use the ordinary freedom of a compiler in transcribing from the fuller document which supplied him with materials here and in Nehemiah 11. His source dealt with the neighbouring townships as well as Jerusalem; the latter is the sole subject of the chronicler's extracts here. Verse 3. - And of the children of Ephraim, and Manasseh. These words are not found in Nehemiah 11:4.
