[552] זְרֻבָּבֶל בֶּן־שְׁאַלְתִּיאֵל.
[553] Ezra ii. 2.
[554] Hag. i. 14, ii. 2, 21, and perhaps by Nehemiah (vii. 65–70). Nehemiah himself is styled both Peḥah (xiv. 20) and Tirshatha (viii. 9, x. 1).
[555] As Daniel and his three friends had also Babylonian names.
[556] Ezra ii. 63.
[557] Cf. Ryle, xxxi ff.; and on Ezra i. 8, ii. 63.
[558] Stade, Gesch. des Volkes Israel, II. 98 ff.: cf. Kuenen, Gesammelte Abhandl., 220.
[559] Ezra i. 8.
[560] Ezra i. compared with ii. 1.
[561] Some think to find this in 1 Esdras v. 1–6, where it is said that Darius, a name they take to be an error for that of Cyrus, brought up the exiles with an escort of a thousand cavalry, starting in the first month of the second year of the king’s reign. This passage, however, is not beyond suspicion as a gloss (see Ryle on Ezra i. 11), and even if genuine may be intended to describe a second contingent of exiles despatched by Darius I. in his second year, 520. The names given include that of Jesua, son of Josedec, and instead of Zerubbabel’s, that of his son Joacim.
