Verse Takeaways
1
A Record of Restoration
Commentators observe that this verse is part of a meticulous record of the families returning from captivity. Matthew Henry uses this list to draw a spiritual lesson: the exile itself demonstrates how sin can bring a nation low, while the recorded return points toward the exaltation that comes through God's righteousness and faithfulness to His people. The specific mention of families like Bebai's shows that God's restoration is personal and detailed.
