Berean Study Bible

They came with Zerubbabel
The phrase "They came with Zerubbabel" highlights the leadership of Zerubbabel, a key figure in the return of the Jewish exiles from Babylon to Jerusalem. Zerubbabel, whose name means "seed of Babylon," was a descendant of King David and played a crucial role in the rebuilding of the temple. His leadership is a testament to God's faithfulness in preserving the Davidic line and fulfilling His promises to restore His people.

Jeshua
Jeshua, also known as Joshua, was the high priest who returned with Zerubbabel. His name means "The LORD is salvation," which is significant as he represents the spiritual leadership necessary for the restoration of worship in Jerusalem. Jeshua's role underscores the importance of spiritual renewal alongside physical rebuilding.

Nehemiah
This Nehemiah is distinct from the Nehemiah who authored the book. The name means "The LORD comforts," reflecting the hope and encouragement God provides to His people during times of restoration. Nehemiah's inclusion in this list signifies the collective effort required to rebuild the community.

Azariah
Azariah, meaning "The LORD has helped," is a common name in the Old Testament, often associated with individuals who experienced God's deliverance. This name serves as a reminder of God's assistance and presence with His people as they undertake the daunting task of rebuilding.

Raamiah
The name Raamiah, meaning "The LORD has thundered," suggests a powerful declaration of God's might and authority. It reflects the divine intervention and support that the returning exiles experienced, emphasizing that their efforts were undergirded by God's power.

Nahamani
Nahamani, whose name means "The LORD has comforted," echoes the theme of divine consolation. This name reinforces the message that God provides comfort and reassurance to His people, especially during challenging times of transition and rebuilding.

Mordecai
Mordecai, a name meaning "warrior" or "follower of Marduk," is famously associated with the Book of Esther. While this Mordecai may not be the same individual, the name evokes themes of courage and faithfulness, qualities essential for the leaders of the returning exiles.

Bilshan
The name Bilshan, meaning "inquirer" or "searcher," suggests a person of wisdom and discernment. This highlights the need for thoughtful and wise leadership in the process of rebuilding and reestablishing the community in Jerusalem.

Mispereth
Mispereth, meaning "number" or "scribe," indicates a role associated with record-keeping or administration. This reflects the organized and methodical approach necessary for the successful resettlement and reconstruction efforts.

Bigvai
Bigvai, meaning "happy" or "fortunate," suggests a sense of blessing and prosperity. This name serves as a reminder of the joy and gratitude that accompany the fulfillment of God's promises and the restoration of His people.

Nehum
Nehum, meaning "comfort" or "compassion," aligns with the recurring theme of divine comfort. It underscores the compassionate nature of God, who provides solace and support to His people during their endeavors.

Baanah
The name Baanah, meaning "in affliction" or "in response," reflects the challenges faced by the returning exiles. It serves as a reminder of the hardships endured and the responsive faith required to overcome obstacles in the pursuit of God's purposes.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 7. - Jeshua, Nehemiah, etc. To the eleven names given by Ezra, Nehemiah adds one, "Nahamani," the sixth. He gives the others in the same order as Ezra, but spells some of the names differently - e.g. "Azariah" for "Seraiah," "Raamiah" for "Reelaiah," "Mispereth" for "Mizpar," and "Nehum" for "Rehum."
