1 Chronicles 9ΠΑΡΑΛΕΙΠΟΜΕΝΩΝ Α′ Θ′

Each verse opens with the running Greek, an English translation, and a discourse note (its connective, relation, and role in the argument). Below follows the word-by-word breakdown in six tiers: gloss, case (color), parsing, syntax, semantic force, and a lexical note.

Case Nominative Genitive Dative Accusative Vocative Verb (no case) Indeclinable

Discourse notes head each verse: relation · connective · clause-flow. Indentation marks prominence — flush-left = main line of argument; indented = supporting / subordinate material.

Theme

After the sweeping tribal genealogies, the chapter narrows to 'all Israel' as registered and then to those who dwelt again in their cities, especially Jerusalem.

Translation & textual notes

The Greek text of 1 Chronicles 9 follows the standard critical text of the Septuagint as established in the Rahlfs–Hanhart edition (Septuaginta, rev. ed. 2006), an ancient and public-domain text; the critical apparatus is not reproduced. After the sweeping tribal genealogies, the chapter narrows to 'all Israel' as registered and then to those who dwelt again in their cities, especially Jerusalem. The returned community is organized with marked attention to priests, Levites, gatekeepers, and other temple-related officers, which confirms the Chronicler's cultic center of gravity. The chapter then closes by repeating Saul's genealogy, linking the restored community not only to patriarchal and tribal antiquity but also to the failed monarchy that chapter 10 will narrate. This makes chapter 9 a bridge: it seals the genealogical preface and sets the stage for David's rise by first recalling Saul's house. The Greek's catalog style preserves the sense of archival continuity from past Israel into the restored present.

καὶ πᾶς Ισραηλ ὁ συλλοχισμὸς αὐτῶν καὶ οὗτοι καταγεγραμμένοι ἐν βιβλίῳ τῶν βασιλέων Ισραηλ καὶ Ιουδα μετὰ τῶν ἀποικισθέντων εἰς Βαβυλῶνα ἐν ταῖς ἀνομίαις αὐτῶν

All Israel was reckoned by genealogy, and behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, together with those carried away to Babylon for their lawless deeds.

All Israel registered; exile acknowledgedκαὶ πᾶς Ισραηλ
The verse closes the genealogical prologue with an explicit interpretive claim: exile did not erase Israel's identity, because the people remained registered, remembered, and morally explained.
