King James Version (KJV)
13:28 And one, &c. - Said by Josephus to be that Manasses, who by Sanballat's interest procured liberty to build the Samaritan temple in mount Gerizim; to which those priests who had married strange wives, or been otherwise criminal, betook themselves, and with, or after them, others of the people in the same or like circumstances. Chased - From my presence and court, from the city and temple, and from the congregation and church of Israel.
13:31 For good - This may well be the summary of our petitions. We need no more to make us happy but this.
Remember them, O my God, because they haue defiled the Priesthood, and the couenant of the Priesthood, and of the Leuites.
