Ezra 2:2
Which came with Zerubbabel: Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah, Reelaiah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispar, Bigvai, Rehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel: Which came with Zerubbabel: Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah, Reelaiah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispar, Bigvai, Rehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel:
Zerubbabel was the leader of the company that returned from captivity. He was a descendant of King David and had been appointed governor over the restored Israelites. With him came Jeshua, that is Joshua the high priest, as a fellow leader of the return. The others named with them included leaders of Judah and Benjamin, priests, and Levites.
The return was a remnant going back to Canaan after Cyrus issued a decree permitting the exiles to return. Nearly fifty thousand people made the return, while many others stayed behind in the provinces of Medo-Persia instead of helping to restore the temple services.
