Haydock's commentary
Families. Hebrew, "These were heads of the fathers by their generations, chief men." (Protestants) (Haydock)
Jerusalem, probably after the captivity. We find none of these names from ver. 14, in the days of Josue; and it was not easy for people to establish themselves at Jerusalem, till David had expelled the Jebusites. (Calmet)
Yet we find that the tribes of Juda and Benjamin had seized the lower city long before, Josue xviii. 28. (Haydock)
