the men of Gibeon
The mention of "the men of Gibeon" refers to the inhabitants of the ancient city of Gibeon, which holds significant historical and biblical importance. Gibeon was a Canaanite city that famously made a treaty with Joshua and the Israelites by deceiving them into believing they were from a distant land (Joshua 9). This treaty allowed them to live among the Israelites, albeit as servants. The Gibeonites' inclusion in the list of returnees in Nehemiah 7 highlights their continued integration into the Israelite community. It underscores the theme of God's grace and the inclusion of Gentiles into His covenant people, a foreshadowing of the New Testament message of salvation for all nations.

95
The specific number "95" indicates the number of men from Gibeon who returned to Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. This precise count reflects the meticulous record-keeping and the importance of each individual in the restoration of the community. It serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness in preserving His people, even through exile and dispersion. The return of these men signifies a renewal of their commitment to the covenant and their role in rebuilding the spiritual and physical life of Jerusalem. Each number in the genealogical records of the Bible is a testament to God's intimate knowledge and care for His people, emphasizing that every person matters in His divine plan.

Verse 25. - The children of Gibeon. For "Gibeon" Ezra has "Gibbar" - a name otherwise unknown to us. "Gibeon" should probably be read in both places.
