עזרא, פרק י׳, פסוק ל״ד

The historical records of the returning exiles carefully detail the families involved in the events of the time. In this specific account, Maadai, Amram, and Uel are listed as members of the household of Bani [ביאור שטיינזלץ].

However, their placement under this family name creates a complication within the registry. The members of the Bani family were already fully counted earlier in the record, making this second mention seem redundant.

To resolve this repetition, an alternative approach suggests looking at the literal meaning of their family description. Instead of viewing this as a return to the previously mentioned household, the designation is understood to mean the sons of the son. In this view, the record is not naming a broad family group again, but rather identifying these three specific men as grandsons [מלבי״ם].
