Study note
Setting — The chronicler records a census of returning exiles, listing tribal heads and their descendants immediately after noting the Zerahite family. The words — בֶּן־ (ben-) translates literally as "son of," establishing direct patrilineal descent, while בִּנְיָמִ֑ן (bin.ya.Min) identifies the specific tribal lineage. The thread — This genealogical line appears in Nehemiah 11:7, which lists Sallu under the descendants of Benjamin but provides a divergent paternal sequence. Why it lands — It demands precise attention to ancestral records and confirms tribal boundaries within the restored community.
