1 Chronicles 9:4

4. Uthai] In Neh. Athaiah. The two words are more alike in Heb. than in English and are perhaps to be regarded as various readings of one name.

Pharez] R.V. Perez, as in 1Ch_2:4-5 (R.V.); Gen_38:29 (R.V.); and Neh_11:4 (A.V. also). We have here (1Ch_9:4-6) a threefold division of the tribe of Judah into the descendants of Perez, Shelah, and Zerah, just as in Num_26:20.

1Ch 9:4. Ammihud — That there is so great a diversity of names between this catalogue and that Nehemiah 11., may be ascribed to two causes. 1st, To the custom of the Hebrews, who used frequently to give several names to one person. And, 2d, To the change of times; for here they are named who came up at the first return: but many of those in Nehemiah might be such as returned afterward, and came and dwelt, either instead of the persons here named, or with them.

Verse 4. Uthai the son of Ammihud] The list here is nearly the same with those found in Ezra and Nehemiah, and contains those who returned to Jerusalem with Zerubbabel; but the list in Nehemiah is more ample, probably because it contains those who came afterwards. The object of the sacred writer here was to give the list of those who came first. Now the first inhabitants, &c.

(4) Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani.—Neh_11:4 traces this line thus: “Athaiah son of Uzjiah, son of Zechariah, son of Amariah, son of Shephatiah, son of Mahalaleel, of the children of Perez.” Uthai is equivalent to Athaiah, and Imri to Amariah, by a common contraction. The other intermediate names in the two series do not coincide; but this does not prove that Uthai and Athaiah are different clans. Many more than five or six members would obviously be required to constitute a complete genealogical stem, reaching from post-exilic times to the age of the tribal patriarchs. We may therefore conclude that the compiler has chosen to select different names in each case from a longer list, which comprised both series.

That there is so great a diversity of names between this catalogue and that Ne 11, may be ascribed to two causes:

1. To the custom of the Hebrews, who used very frequently to give two or three several names to one person; and,

2. To the change of times; for here they are named who came up at the first return; but many of those in Nehemiah might be such as returned afterward, and came and dwelt either instead of the persons here named, who might be then dead, or gone from Jerusalem, or with them.

This verse contains a short list, with many links wanting, of descendants of Judah through Pharez, six in number, and in reverse order. 4. similar list as regards its extreme terms is that which we find in Neh_11:4, but only three (Uthai, Imri, Pharez) of the six names here can be considered identical with a like number (Athaiah, Amariah, Perez) out of the seven found there. Neh_11:6 adds, "The number of the sons of Perez that dwelt at Jerusalem four hundred three score and eight valiant men. "

Ammihud - That there is so great a diversity of names between this catalogue and that of Nehem xi, 4-36, may be ascribed to two causes:

1. to the custom of the Hebrew, who used frequently to give several names to one person: and,

2. to the change of times; for here they are named who came up at the first return but many of those in Nehemiah might be such as returned afterward, and came and dwelt either instead of the persons here named, or with them.
