Nehemiah 11

11And the princes of the people dwelt in Jerusalem, and the rest of the people cast lots, to bring one out of every ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, while nine-tenths remained in the villages. 2And the people blessed all the men who volunteered to dwell in Jerusalem.

3Now these are the chiefs of the province who dwelt in Jerusalem; but in the cities of Judah every man dwelt in his possession in their cities: Israel, the priests, the Levites, the temple servants, and 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 Shephthiah, the son of Mahalalel, of the children of Perez. 6All the sons of Perez who dwelt in Jerusalem were four hundred and sixty-eight valiant men. And of the sons of Zerah: Jeual and their clansmen, six hundred and ninety. 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 the Shelanite.

7And these are the sons of Benjamin: Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jeshaiah. 8And his clansmen were mighty warriors, nine hundred and twenty-eight. 9And Joel the son of Zichri was appointed over them; and Judah the son of Hassenuah was second in charge of the city.

10Of the priests: Jedaiah, Joiarib, Jachin, 11and Seraiah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God, 12and their clansmen who did the work of the house, eight hundred and twenty-two; and Adaiah the son of Jeroboam, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashur, the son of Malchijah, 13and his clansmen, chiefs of fathers’ houses, two hundred and forty-two; and Amasai the son of Azarel, the son of Ahzai, the son of Meshilemoth, the son of Immer, 14and his clansmen, mighty warriors, a hundred and twenty-eight; and Zabdiel the son of Haggedolim was appointed over them.

15And of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni; 16and Shabbethai and Jozabad, of the chiefs of the Levites, who had the oversight of the outside work of the house of God; 17and Mattaniah the son of Mica, the son of Zikri, the son of Asaph, who was the leader of the songs of praise, and Bakbukiah was the second among his clansmen; and Abda the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun. 18All the Levites in the holy city were two hundred and eighty-four.

19Moreover the porters, Akkub, Talmon, and their kinsmen, who kept watch at the gates, were a hundred and seventy-two. 21But the temple servants dwelt in Ophel; and Ziha and Gishpa were over the temple servants.

22The one appointed over 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, over the work of the house of God. 23For there was a command from the king concerning them, and a settled provision for the singers, as each day required. 24And Pethliah the son of Meshezebel, of the children of Zerah the son of Judah, advised the king in all matters concerning the people.

20And the rest of Israel, of the priests, the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, each in his inheritance. 25And as to the estates with their fields, some of the children of Judah dwelt in Kiriath-arba and its dependent villages, in Dibon and its dependent villages, in Jekabzeel and its estates, 26in Jeshua, in Moladah, in Beth-pelet, 27in Hazar-shual, and in Beersheba and its dependent villages, 29in En-rimmon, in Zorah, in Jarmuth, 30Zanoah, Adullam and their estates, Lachish and its fields, Azekah and its dependent villages. so they had their places of temporary abode from Beersheba to the valley of Hinnom. 31The children of Benjamin also dwelt at Geba, Michamash, Aija, Bethel, and its dependent villages, 32at Anathoth, Nob, Ananiah, 33Hazor, Ramah, Gittaim, 34Hadid, Zeboim, Neballat, 35Lod, and Ono, the valley of the craftsmen. 36And of the Levites, certain divisions in Judah were joined to Benjamin.
