The Hebrew text gives Shechaniah as the house, but fails to give the name of its representative. -Shecaniah" does not occur in the other lists as the name of a house. The text of 1 Esdr. has -of the sons of Zathoe, Shechenias the son of Jezelus" (1Es 8:32). -Zathoe" is the same as Zattu (Ezra 2:8). This name has most probably accidentally dropped out. We should therefore read "Of the sons of Zattu, Shechaniah the son of Jahaziel", i.e. Shechaniah is the representative of the house of Zattu: so also the LXX. (ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ζαθόης Σεχενίας νἱὸς Ἀζιήλ).
