Ezra 8:9

King James Version (KJV)

Of the sons of Joab; Obadiah the son of Jehiel, and with him two hundred and eighteen males.

Matthew Henry
Concise Bible Commentary

Ezra assembles the outcasts of Israel, and the dispersed of Judah. God raised up the spirits of a small remnant to accompany him. What a pity that good men should omit a good work, for want of being spoken to!
