Usage: The name Barkos appears in the context of post-exilic Israel, specifically among the Nethinim, a group of temple servants. Context: Barkos is mentioned in the context of the return from the Babylonian exile. The name appears in the lists of the Nethinim, who were temple servants assigned to assist the Levites in the service of the temple. The Nethinim were likely descendants of the Gibeonites, who were assigned to serve the Israelites after deceiving Joshua (Joshua 9). Barkos is specifically mentioned in Ezra 2:53 and Nehemiah 7:55, where the descendants of Barkos are listed among those who returned to Jerusalem and Judah with Zerubbabel. These lists highlight the restoration of the temple services and the re-establishment of the religious community in Jerusalem after the exile.
