The beginning of this chapter shows the services of these genealogies, used to link the two, though imperfect. Compare Neh. 7:63-6563And of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai, which took one of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite to wife, and was called after their name. 64These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but it was not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood. 65And the Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up a priest with Urim and Thummim. (Nehemiah 7:63‑65).

Chronicles and Nehemiah are distinct lists, perhaps using some like sources, made at different times.
