All Israel - That the Israelites of the ten tribes returned to Palestine with Zerubbabel is apparent:
(1) from 1-Chronicles 9:3;
(2) from the enumeration of twelve chiefs (Nehemiah 7:7; 1 Esd. 5:8); and
(3) from various expressions in Ezra Ezra 2:2, Ezra 2:59; Ezra 3:1.
Dwelt in their cities - They all went to those cities which belonged originally to their respective families.
So the priests and the Levites, and some of the people, and the singers, and the Nethinims, dwelt in their cities,.... Which were assigned to them out of the several tribes, and in which they or their forefathers had dwelt before the captivity:
and all Israel in their cities; as those of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, so of the other ten, as many as returned and joined those who were left in the land.
And all Israel in their cities - And they dwelt in peace, in perfect harmony, a blessed presage of their settlement, as their discord in the latter times of that state, was of their ruin.
