Also of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hashub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni;
Nehemiah 11:15 belongs to the record of the remnant that returned to Jerusalem after the seventy years of captivity, listing the Levites among those who came back by naming Shemaiah with his ancestry through Hashub, Azrikam, Hashabiah, and Bunni. The returned remnant received the promised restoration because they sought God. Their settlement in Jerusalem and the covenant they entered into were only a partial fulfillment of what Israel could have enjoyed in that dispensation. Because the twelve tribes did not remain faithful, they did not receive the full promised inheritance.
