Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 24. - Pethahiah... of the children of Zerah. We have here an indication of the imperfection of the preceding catalogue, which has mentioned no descendants of Zerah among the Jews dwelling in Jerusalem, but made them all sons of Perez (ver. 6). As already observed, a verse equivalent to 1 Chronicles 6:9 must have fallen out between vers. 6 and 7 of this chapter. The exact office borne by Pethahiah cannot be determined; but he evidently held a confidential position, which made him an intermediary for certain purposes between the Persian king and the Jewish people. Perhaps he received and forwarded petitions and complaints.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(24) Of the children of Zerah.--This makes the absence of Zerah in the beginning of the chapter very remarkable, and suggests some accidental omission.At the king's hand.--Pethahiah was the king's agent in all the country matters of the "province."
