Commentaries on Nehemiah 12:11

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 10-11Joiakim likely served during the early years of Ezra's service. Eliashib and Joiada served during Nehemiah's time (Nehemiah 3:1; 13:4, 28). Jonathan: An Aramaic papyrus document from a Jewish colony in Elephantine, Egypt (around 410 BC). Josephus (Antiquities 11.5.4, AD 93) also mentions Jonathan serving after Nehemiah's time.Read the comment
