Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 5. - The Shilonites. These are the descendants of Shelah, youngest son of Judah. In place of the one name Asaiah here, Nehemiah (Nehemiah 11:7) gives a list of seven, among which Maassiah is found, answering to our Asaiah.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) And of the Shilonites.--Shilonite means "man of Shiloh," the ancient capital of Ephraim; whereas 1Chronicles 9:4-6 have to do with Judah. The three sons of Judah, after whom three great sub-tribal divisions were named, were Pharez, Shelah, and Zarah (Genesis 38). The clan of Shelah was called the Shelanite (Numbers 26:20), and that is doubtless the correct reading here (see 1Chronicles 2:3; 1Chronicles 4:21), supported as it is by the LXX. (??????) and the Targum.Asaiah ("Jah hath wrought") is essentially the same as "Maaseiah" ("Work of Jah") in Nehemiah 11:5, where six progenitors are enumerated. . . .
