Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 4. - Upon the stairs, of the Levites. Rather, "upon the platform of the Levites," the same probably as the "pulpit of Nehemiah 8:4. Bani. Rather, "Binnui" (see Nehemiah 10:9; Nehemiah 12:8),the representative of the "sons of Henadad. Jeshua, Binnui, and Kadmiel are the three principal families of the Levites (comp. Ezra 2:40; Ezra 3:9; Nehemiah 3:24; Nehemiah 8:7, etc.). Sherebiah was the head of a family which returned with Ezra (Ezra 8:18). Chenani is probably the "Hanan" of Nehemiah 8:7, and Nehemiah 10:10.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(4) Stairs, of the Levites.--The scaffold of the Levites, without the comma: the steps of ascent to the pulpit of Ezra (Nehemiah 8:2).Bani, and Chenani.--Probably, Binnui and Haman (Nehemiah 10:9-10).Their God.--When the people are called upon (Nehemiah 9:5), it is "your God"; hence these eight Levites offered a prayer which is not inserted.
