ORIGINAL REGISTERS OF ISRAEL AND JUDAH'S GENEALOGIES.
1. all Israel were reckoned by genealogies--From the beginning of the Hebrew nation, public records were kept, containing a registration of the name of every individual, as well as the tribe and family to which he belonged. "The book of the kings of Israel and Judah" does not refer to the two canonical books that are known in Scripture by that name, but to authenticated copies of those registers, placed under the official care of the sovereigns; and as a great number of the Israelites
(1Ch 9:3)
took refuge in Judah during the invasion of Shalmaneser, they carried the public records along with them. The genealogies given in the preceding chapters were drawn from the public records in the archives both of Israel and Judah; and those given in this chapter relate to the period subsequent to the restoration; whence it appears (compare
1Ch 3:17-24)
that the genealogical registers were kept during the captivity in Babylon. These genealogical tables, then, are of the highest authority for truth and correctness, the earlier portion being extracted from the authenticated records of the nation; and as to those which belong to the time of the captivity, they were drawn up by a contemporary writer, who, besides enjoying the best sources of information, and being of the strictest integrity, was guided and preserved from all error by divine inspiration.

2. 最先住在自己產業上的居民——本章所述全是最初被擄歸回的人。這些名字幾乎全都重現於《尼希米記》
(Ne 11:1-36),
雖有若干差異,將在那裡加以說明。百姓在被擄前後同樣分為四類:祭司、利未人、本地人(此時統稱為以色列人),以及尼提寧人
(Jos 9:27; Ezr 2:43; 8:20)。
當歷史學家說到「最先住在自己產業上的居民」時,他暗示後來還有其他人歸回,定居在初歸者所未佔據的產業上。因此我們讀到,後來有大批准人在以斯拉、尼希米率領下,以及更晚的時期相繼歸回。而有些回到先祖古時產業的人,在被擄之前便已生活在那裡
(Ezr 3:12; Hag 2:4, 10)。

2. the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions--This chapter relates wholly to the first returned exiles. Almost all the names recur in Nehemiah
(Ne 11:1-36),
although there are differences which will be explained there. The same division of the people into four classes was continued after, as before the captivity; namely, the priests, Levites, natives, who now were called by the common name of Israelites, and the Nethinims
(Jos 9:27; Ezr 2:43; 8:20).
When the historian speaks of "the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions," he implies that there were others who afterwards returned and settled in possessions not occupied by the first. Accordingly, we read of a great number returning successively under Ezra, Nehemiah, and at a later period. And some of those who returned to the ancient inheritance of their fathers, had lived before the time of the captivity
(Ezr 3:12; Hag 2:4, 10).

18. 王門——王從他的宮殿有一道門通往聖殿
(2Ki 16:18)，
這門無疑是經常關閉的，只供君王使用；雖然被擄歸回之後以色列沒有王，但舊有的禮儀仍然保留，大概是盼望權杖遲早會恢復給大衛的家。東方君王有一項特別的殊榮，就是有一道專供自己使用的門，這門經常關閉，只有他出入時才打開
(Eze 44:2)。
那時以色列既沒有王，這門便一直關閉。

18. the king's gate--The king had a gate from his palace into the temple
(2Ki 16:18),
which doubtless was kept constantly closed except for the monarch's use; and although there was no king in Israel on the return from the captivity, yet the old ceremonial was kept up, probably in the hope that the scepter would, ere long, be restored to the house of David. It is an honor by which Eastern kings are distinguished, to have a gate exclusively devoted to their own special use, and which is kept constantly closed, except when he goes out or returns
(Eze 44:2).
There being no king then in Israel, this gate would be always shut.

以色列與猶大家譜的原始記錄冊
1. 以色列眾人都按家譜計算——自希伯來民族立國之初,便存有公開的記錄,登記每一個人的名字,以及他所歸屬的支派與家族。「以色列和猶大諸王記」並非指聖經中以此名稱為人所知的那兩卷正典書卷,而是指那些受君王官方保管、經核驗無誤的記錄副本;由於大量以色列人
(1Ch 9:3)
在撒縫以色(Shalmaneser)入侵期間逃入猶大避難,便將這些公開記錄一併帶來。前數章所載的家譜,係取自以色列與猶大雙方檔案庫中的公開記錄;而本章所載的,則屬歸回之後的時期;由此可見
(參
1Ch 3:17-24),
在被擄於巴比倫期間,家譜記錄仍得以保存。因此,這些家譜表在真實性與準確性上具有最高的權威,其前半部分係摘自經核驗的國族記錄;至於屬被擄時期的那部分,則由一位當代作者所編纂,他不僅享有最完備的資料來源,秉性極其正直,更蒙神聖的默示所引導與保守,免於一切錯誤。
