Charles Ellicott Commentary
"the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin," — 1 Chronicles 24:9 (ASV)
Malchijah. —Nehemiah 3:11.
Mijamin. —Looks like on the right hand. Perhaps the first syllable is a disguise of Mê (water—a metaphorical term for son), and then the name would be equivalent to Benjamin (Nehemiah 12:5).
