See the margin reference notes. Both accounts appear to be extracts from a public official register which Nehemiah caused to be made of his census. The census itself seems to have been confined to the dwellers at Jerusalem. The subjoined table exhibits the differences between the accounts of the entire population of Jerusalem as given in Nehemiah and in Chronicles:

1 Chron

Nehemiah
Tribes of Judah  
Of Pharez 468
Of Zerah 690 
Tribe of Benjamin 956928
Tribe of Levi  
Priests 17601192
Levites 284
Porters 212172

According to Nehemiah’ s numbers, supplemented from Chronicles, the entire adult male population of the city was 3,734, which would give a total population of 14,936. According to Chronicles, supplemented from Nehemiah, the adult males were 4,370, and consequently the entire population, would have been 17,480. As the Nethinims and the Israelites of Ephraim and Manasseh 1Ch 9:3 are not included in either list, we may conclude that the actual number of the inhabitants, after the efforts recorded in Neh 11:1-2, was not much short of 20,000.

Neh 11:16

The outward business of the house of God - Such as the collection of the newly-imposed tax Neh 10:32, the providing of the regular sacrifices, the renewal of vestments, and the like.

Neh 11:17

The principal to begin the thanksgiving - i. e., "the precentor,"or "leader of the choir."
