“Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, men of understanding.”
King James Version (KJV)
8:15 Of Levi - None who were simple Levites, and not the priests. And therefore the Levites mentioned, chap.#7:7|, by anticipation were not yet come to him.
8:18 By the good hand - If where ministers have been wanting, the vacancies are well supplied, let us ascribe it to the good hand of God, qualifying them for the service, inclining them to it, and opening a door for them.
