The chief of the people; Parosh, Pahath-moab, Elam, Zatthu, Bani,
The verse names Parosh, Pahath-moab, Elam, Zatthu, and Bani among the chief of the people. It stands in Nehemiah's account of the remnant who returned to Jerusalem after the seventy years of captivity and entered into a covenant.
It belongs to Nehemiah 8-10, in the book written by Nehemiah, a governor appointed of the Lord with the burden of restoring Jerusalem, who worked always with the highest good of Jerusalem in mind. The book covers about 446-408 and tells who Nehemiah is and the work he did, recording the last reform on his return to Jerusalem with its ups and downs, battles and conflicts, and defeats and victories of the Jews at Jerusalem. That record of the last reformation belongs to the record of Babylonian life in the days of Ezra and Nehemiah and is typical of what God does in other ages, especially in the last days.
