What Does Nehemiah 11:7 Mean?
Having listed Judah, the census now names the Benjamites who settled in Jerusalem, starting with Sallu, whose ancestry is traced back through several generations.
Benjamin's territory bordered Jerusalem, and its sons shared in repopulating the holy city. The pairing of Judah and Benjamin recalls the two tribes that remained loyal to the house of David, now standing together again to rebuild what had been lost.
