Generally, the teachers and shepherds in the recovery were ejected by choice or by default. Many who remained were largey local administrators and maybe teachers who were more fearful of man, than fearing God. This explains why many zerubabbels remained and why ezras did not. This is part of the evolution of the recovery; going from praying for the individual believer to praying for the work.
