"This chapter has a list of the post-exilic inhabitants of Jerusalem, to which has been appended a list of the ancestors of king Saul as a fitting introduction to the story of Saul which immediately follows."[2] J. Barton Payne sharply disagreed with Dentan's statement here, affirming that, "This chapter enumerates the inhabitants of Jerusalem prior to the city's capture and the removal of its people to Babylon."[3] This writer believes that Payne's opinion is the more trustworthy.  The principal support of Dentan's view comes, "From an emendation that changes the meaning of verse 2 in this chapter."[4]  It is a weakness of the RSV that it follows that change of the sacred text without adequate authority.
