Johanan <03110> [Johanan.]
Johanan is supposed to the same as Jehoiada, as he would otherwise not be mentioned.

Seraiah ... Seraiah <08304> [Seraiah.]
Seraiah was carried to Riblah, and there put to death by order of Nebuchadnezzar; so that with him ended the succession of high priests in the first temple.

[Toah.]
[Tohu.]
Eliab <0446> [Eliab.]
[Eliel.]
[Elihu. Elkanah.]
Houbigant says that we may here venture to add, "Samuel his son."
Joel <02059> [Vashni.]
<\\See definition 02059\\>. It appears that the Joel is here lost out of the text; and that {washni,} which signifies "and the second," and which refers to Abiah, is made into a proper name. The Syriac and Arabic read as in Samuel. The marginal references contain the variation in the names given to the same persons, in different parts of sacred history, as far as it can be ascertained; and nearly the whole, that is at present known concerning them, may be learned by consulting them.
[Joel.]
Mahli <04249> [Mahli.]
David <01732> [A.M. 2962. B.C. 1042. whom David.]

<05975> [and then.]
<05975> [waited Heb. stood. according to their order.]
This order is specified below.
Heman <01968> [Heman.]
Joel <03100> [Joel.]
[Vashni. Shemuel.]
This variation, as well as some others, only exists in the translation; the Hebrew being uniformly Shemu‰l.
[Samuel.]

[Eliab.]
Toah <08430> [Toah.]
[Nahath.]
Zuph <06689> [Zuph.]

Ebiasaph <043> [Ebiasaph.]
[Abiasaph. Korah.]
[titles.]
Izhar <03324> [Izhar.]
[Izehar.]
fellow <0251> [his brother.]
Asaph is probably called his brother, because he was of the same tribe as Heman; or, perhaps, because he was his companion or associate.
him ...... Asaph <0623> [Asaph.]
Ethni <0867> [Ethni.]
[Jeaterai. Adaiah.]
[Iddo.]
Ethan <0387> [Ethan.]

descendants ..... son .... son .... son <01121> [these are, etc.]
We have already had a list of these, though more extensive.
Eleazar <0499> [Eleazar.]
Phinehas <06372> [Phinehas.]
Zadok <06659> [Zadok.]
areas where .... lived <04186> [A.M. 2561. B.C. 1443. these are.]
<02918> [castles.]
clan <04940> [of the families.]
Hebron <02275> [Hebron.]
refuge <04733> [the city of refuge.]
Libnah <03841> [Libnah.]
Jattir <03492> [Jattir.]
Hilez <02432> [Hilen.]
[This variation simply arises from the introduction of a [Y“wd]]
{yood}, and a change of the vowel points; Holon being written [Ch“l“wn <\\See definition 02473\\>,] and Hilen [ChŒyn <\\See definition 02432\\>.]
[Holon. Debir.]
Ashan <06228> [Ashan.]
It is probable that either Ain, in Joshua, is a mistake for Ashan, or that it was called by both names.
[Ain. Beth-shemesh.]
Geba <01387> [Geba.]
Alemeth <05964> [Alemeth.]
<\\See definition 05964\\>.
[Almon. Anathoth.]
thirteen cities <05892 07969> [thirteen cities.]
Here there are only eleven enumerated; but two more are added in the book of Joshua, Juttah and Gibeon, which make thirteen. None of the versions give the full number of names, though they all give the whole sum of thirteen; and it is probable that these two cities had been destroyed and lay in ruins when this book was written, and hence were not enumerated.

Aijalon <0357> [Aijalon.]
[Ajalon.]
Gath Rimmon <01667> [Gath-rimmon.]
Aner <06063> [Aner.]
Aner is probably another name of Tanach, which was a city of the half tribe of Manasseh, west of Jordan; and Eusebius, Jerome, and Procopius of Gaza, say that it was in their time a considerable place, three miles from Legio.
[Tanach, Gath-rimmon. Bileam.]
<\\See definition 01109\\>. Ibleam is here called Bileam, by a transposition of letters common to all languages. It is evident, however, that many of these cities or their names have been changed since the time of Joshua; but, as it has been well observed, Salop and Shrewsbury, Sarum and Salisbury, are as different names as any in these catalogues; yet those who live in their vicinity are not at all confused by them. Some cities also are here mentioned as belonging to Ephraim, which in Joshua are spoken of as cities of Dan; but various changes in such matters would occur in a course of ages.
