The New Settlers in Jerusalem

1And the princes of the people dwelt in Jerusalem; and the rest of the people cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem, the holy city, and nine parts in the cities. 2And the people blessed all the men that willingly offered themselves to dwell in Jerusalem.

3And these are the chiefs of the province that dwelt in Jerusalem; but in the cities of Judah dwelt every one in his possession in their cities, Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the Nethinim, and the children of Solomon's servants. 4And in Jerusalem dwelt some of the children of Judah and of the children of Benjamin. Of the children of Judah: Athaiah the son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalaleel, of the children of Pherez; 5and Maaseiah the son of Baruch, the son of Col-hozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, the son of Shiloni. 6All the children of Pherez that dwelt in Jerusalem were four hundred and sixty-eight valiant men.

19And the doorkeepers, Akkub, Talmon, and their brethren, that kept watch at the gates, were a hundred and seventy-two.

20And the residue of Israel, the priests, [and] the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, every one in his inheritance. 21And the Nethinim dwelt in Ophel; and Ziha and Gispa were over the Nethinim.

22And the overseer of the Levites at Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica, of the sons of Asaph, the singers, for the work of the house of God. 23For it was the king's commandment concerning them, and there was a settled portion for the singers, due for each day. 24And Pethahiah the son of Meshezabeel, of the children of Zerah the son of Judah, was at the king's hand in all matters concerning the people.

25And as to the hamlets in their fields, [some] of the children of Judah dwelt in Kirjath-Arba and its dependent villages, and in Dibon and its dependent villages, and in Jekabzeel and its dependent villages, 26and in Jeshua, and in Moladah, and in Beth-phelet, 27and in Hazar-Shual, and in Beer-sheba and its dependent villages, 28and in Ziklag, and in Meconah and its dependent villages; 29and in En-Rimmon, and in Zorah, and in Jarmuth, 30Zanoah, Adullam, and their hamlets, in Lachish and its fields, in Azekah and its dependent villages: and they encamped from Beer-sheba unto the valley of Hinnom. 31And the children of Benjamin from Geba [dwelt] in Michmash and Aija and Bethel, and their dependent villages, 32in Anathoth, Nob, Ananiah, 33Hazor, Ramah, Gittaim, 34Hadid, Zeboim, Neballat, 35Lod, and Ono, the valley of craftsmen. 36And of the Levites there were divisions of Judah [dwelling] in Benjamin.
