Explanation preview
This verse falls within the list of exiles who returned from Babylon under Zerubbabel, which Nehemiah found in the genealogical register and copied into his own record. The three families named here came from towns in Babylonia, but they could not prove their Israelite ancestry, so they were counted separately from the rest of the assembly.
