We asked their names R.V. we asked them their names. So the Aramaic. For the names of the Elders, cf. Ezra 2:2.

the chief of them R.V. at the head of them. Literally -at or in the heads of them". The R.V. renders as if the word was in the singular; cf. 2 Chronicles 20:27, -Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them", (lit. at their head). But the rendering -that were their heads" would be equally correct, and would account for the use of the plural.
