- 1 Chronicles 3:24
The sons of Elioenai: Hodaviah, Eliashib, Pelaiah, Akkub, Johanan, Delaiah, and Anani—seven in all.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 3:241 voice
And Anani - This is the King Messiah who is to be revealed. - T. Jarchi says the same, and refers to Dan 7:13: Behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds (ענני ananey) of heaven. For this application of the word he gives a fanciful reason, not worthy to be repeated. The Syriac and Arabic omit several names in this table, and make only twenty-three verses in the chapter: but such differences are frequent in the books of Chronicles.

- 1 Chronicles 24:18
the twenty-third to Delaiah, and the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.
- Ezra 2:60
the descendants of Delaiah, the descendants of Tobiah, and the descendants of Nekoda, 652 in all.
Commentary on Ezra 2:602 voices
The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, and the children of Nekoda, six hundred fifty and two. These, though their immediate parents were known, yet by their being mentioned here, it seems as if they could not carry their genealogy further, and make it clearly appear what was the house of their fathers, or what their family.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
And from the sons of the priests, the sons of Tobiah, etc. The sons of the exiled act with the same caution towards the priests as they are reported to have acted towards the people. For they took great care that it would be openly …

- Nehemiah 6:10
Later, I went to the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was confined to his house. He said: “Let us meet at the house of God inside the temple. Let us shut the temple doors because they are coming to kill you— by night they are coming to kill you!”
Commentary on Nehemiah 6:102 voices
Afterward I came unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabeel, who was shut up,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Shut up - In his chamber adjoining to the temple, upon pretense of singular devotion, and communion with God, and withal upon pretense of certain knowledge, by the Spirit of God concerning their approaching danger, from which thy could be safe nowhere but in the temple.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
- Nehemiah 7:62
the descendants of Delaiah, the descendants of Tobiah, and the descendants of Nekoda, 642 in all.
Commentary on Nehemiah 7:622 voices
He appointed the porters, singers, and Levites, in their places to their work. This is meant of their work in general, which was to attend the temple service; it had been neglected in some degree, but now was revived. God's worship is the defence of a place, and his ministers, when they mind their duty, are watchmen on the walls.
Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710Puritan
Or perhaps one was the account of them when they set out from Babylon with Zerubbabel, the other when they came to Jerusalem. The sum totals are all just the same there and here, except of the singing-men and singing-women, which there are 200, here 245.
Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710Puritan
- Jeremiah 36:12
he went down to the scribe’s chamber in the king’s palace, where all the officials were sitting: Elishama the scribe, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other officials.
Commentary on Jeremiah 36:122 voices
Then he went down into the king's house,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
The scribes chamber - The chancery in which the kings business was conducted. Probably Elishama was one of the principal scribes of the host Jer 52:25, i. e., the secretary of state for war. The business which had brought together all the princes would have reference to the Chaldaean war.

- Jeremiah 36:25
Even though Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them.
Commentary on Jeremiah 36:252 voices
Nevertheless, Elnathan, and Delaiah, and Gemariah,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah - Three of the princes wished to save the roll, and entreated the king that it might not be burnt. They would have saved it out of the fire, but the king would not permit it to be done.
