From the descendants of Benjamin
The tribe of Benjamin holds a significant place in Israel's history. As one of the twelve tribes, Benjamin was known for its warriors and its strategic location near Jerusalem. The tribe's loyalty to the house of David and its role in the Southern Kingdom of Judah are noteworthy. The Hebrew root for Benjamin, "Binyamin," means "son of the right hand," symbolizing strength and favor. This lineage highlights the continuity of God's promises to His people and the importance of each tribe in the restoration of Jerusalem.

Sallu son of Meshullam
The name "Sallu" is derived from the Hebrew root "salah," meaning "to be weighed" or "to be light." This could imply a person of integrity or one who is balanced in judgment. "Meshullam" means "friend" or "ally," suggesting a person who is supportive and trustworthy. The mention of these names in the genealogical record underscores the importance of family heritage and the role of individuals in the collective mission of rebuilding and restoring the community.

the son of Joed
"Joed" means "Jehovah is witness" in Hebrew. This name reflects a deep spiritual truth that God is always present and aware of His people's actions and intentions. The inclusion of Joed in this lineage serves as a reminder of God's omnipresence and His role as a witness to the faithfulness of His people throughout generations.

the son of Pedaiah
"Pedaiah" means "Jehovah has ransomed" or "Jehovah redeems." This name is a powerful testament to God's redemptive power and His ability to deliver His people from bondage. In the context of Nehemiah, it serves as a reminder of the Israelites' return from exile and the ongoing work of restoration that God is orchestrating in their midst.

the son of Kolaiah
The name "Kolaiah" means "voice of Jehovah" or "Jehovah has voiced." This suggests a prophetic or communicative role, emphasizing the importance of hearing and responding to God's word. In the rebuilding of Jerusalem, the voice of God, as communicated through His prophets and leaders, was crucial in guiding the people and ensuring their alignment with His will.

the son of Maaseiah
"Maaseiah" means "work of Jehovah" or "the Lord's work." This name highlights the divine initiative and involvement in the affairs of His people. It serves as a reminder that the rebuilding of Jerusalem was not merely a human endeavor but a divinely orchestrated mission, with God actively working through His chosen individuals.

the son of Ithiel
"Ithiel" means "God is with me." This name is a profound declaration of God's presence and support. In the context of Nehemiah, it reassures the people of God's unwavering presence as they undertake the daunting task of rebuilding their city and their lives. It is a reminder of the Emmanuel principle, that God is always with His people.

the son of Jeshaiah
"Jeshaiah" means "Jehovah has saved" or "salvation of the Lord." This name encapsulates the overarching theme of deliverance and salvation that runs throughout the Bible. It is a fitting conclusion to this genealogical record, emphasizing that the ultimate purpose of the restoration efforts in Nehemiah's time was to bring about God's salvation and to prepare the way for the coming of the Messiah, who would bring eternal salvation to all who believe.

(7) The Benjamites were represented by two families, and gave the city two prefects (Nehemiah 11:9).

Verse 7. - And these are the sons of Benjamin. A verse equivalent to 1 Chronicles 9:6 would seem to have fallen out here. Nehemiah cannot have intended to leave out the descendants of Zerah, who formed more than one-half of the Jewish element in the population of Jerusalem, and furnished 690 fighting men. Sallu the son of Meshullam. Compare 1 Chronicles 9:7. The other names in the genealogy are different, the two writers singling out for mention different ancestors.
