Residents Outside Jerusalem

The rest of the Israelites, with the priests and Levites, [were] in all the villages of Judah, each on his own inheritance. 21 The temple servants lived on [the hill of] Ophel, with Ziha and Gishpa over [them].

22 

Now the overseer of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica.[fn] [He was] one of Asaph’s descendants, who were the singers in charge of the service of the house of God. 23 For [there was] a command from the king concerning [the singers], an ordinance regulating [their] daily activities. 24 Pethahiah son of Meshezabel, a descendant of Zerah son of Judah, was the king’s agent[fn] in every matter concerning the people.

25 

As for the villages with their fields, some of the people of Judah lived vvv in Kiriath-arba Dibon Jekabzeel, and their villages; 26 in Jeshua, Moladah, vvv and Beth-pelet; 27 vvv in Hazar-shual; vvv in Beersheba and its villages; 28 in Ziklag; in Meconah and its villages; 29 vvv in En-rimmon, Zorah, Jarmuth, 30 Zanoah, Adullam, and their villages; in Lachish and its fields; and in Azekah and its villages. So they settled vvv from Beersheba all the way to the Valley of Hinnom.

The descendants of Benjamin from Geba [lived] in Michmash, Aija, vvv and Bethel with its villages; 32 in Anathoth, Nob, Ananiah, 33 Hazor, Ramah, Gittaim, 34 Hadid, Zeboim, Neballat, 35 Lod, and Ono; and in the Valley of the Craftsmen.[fn]
