We have in this chapter a record of little more than the names of a great many priests and Levites, that were eminent in their day among the returned Jews. It is good to know what our godly ancestors and predecessors were, that we may learn thereby what we should be.

**Maadiah:** The variation between Moadiah, מועדיה [Strong's [H4153](#sH4153)], and Maadiah, מעדיה [Strong's [H4573](#sH4573)], merely arises from the elision of ו, wav; the LXX, however, in [Nehemiah 12:17](../../../kjv/nehemiah/12/17), have בבהבי.

**the dedication:** Jerusalem was the holy city, and the wall was built under the immediate superintendence and blessing of Jehovah: it was therefore proper that it should be dedicated to that God who was there worshipped by solemn praises, prayers, and sacrifices. The dedication seems to have consisted in processions of the most eminent persons around the walls, with thanksgivings to God, who had enabled them to bring the work to so happy a conclusion; and, no doubt, to all this were added a particular consecration of the city to God, and the most earnest invocation that He would take it under His guardianship, and defend it and its inhabitants against their enemies.
