John Wesley's Notes

<< Nehemiah 12:11

Nehemiah 12:13 >>

Priests - As their fathers were priests in the days of Joshua, so in the days of Joiakim the son of Joshua, the sons of those persons executed the priesthood in their father's steads, some of their fathers probably being yet living, and many of them dead.
