Matthew Poole and continuators on Nehemiah 13:4

4 And before this Eliashib the priest having the oversight of the chamber of the house of our God, was allied unto Tobiah :

The High-Priest, ch. 3. 1. Or some other Priest so called, there being divers Eliashibs, in or about this time, Ezra 10. 6, 24, 27, 36. Though the first seems most probable, by comparing this verse with v. 28. and with ch. 12. [illegible: 1 word] ▪ 11.

[illegible: 1+ letters]. [illegible: 1+ letters]. Of the chamber, as appears from the following verse; and from [illegible: 1+ letters]. 9. where it is called chambers, and from the nature of the thing, the High-Priest having the chief power over the house of God, and all the Chambers belonging to it. The singular number for the plural.

The Ammonite, and a violent Enemy to Gods People. So this is noted as a great blemish to Eliashib, and as the cause of his other miscarriage noted v. 5.

Marginal references: ti[illegible: 1+ letters]e.; Heb. being set over.
