11 The people’s leaders lived in Yerushalem, but the rest of the people drew straws to select one out of ten families to reside in Yerushalem the holy city—the other nine settled in the towns, 2 then the people blessed the ones who’d freely offered to live there in Yerushalem. 3 In the towns in Yehudah, everyone lived on their own property. That included the Israelis, the priests and Levites, the temple servants, and the descendants of Shelomoh’s servants. The provincial officials lived in Yerushalem,[ref] 4 as well as some of Yehudah’s and Benyamin’s descendants.
Yehudah’s descendants in Yerushalem included:
6 Altogether 468 strong men who were Ferets’ descendants lived in Yerushalem.
7 Benyamin’s descendants in Yerushalem included:
A total of 928. 9 Zikri’s son Yoel was their overseer in the city, and Hassenuah’s son Yihudah was his second-in-command.
10 The priests in Yerushalem included:
Haggedolim’s son Zavdi’el was their overseer.
15 The Levites in Yerushalem included:
18 The total number of Levites in the sacred city were 284.
19 The gatekeepers in Yerushalem included:
A total of 172.
20 The rest of Israel and the other priests and Levites, all lived their ancestral towns across Yehudah. 21 The temple workers lived on Ofel hill, and Tsiha and Gishpa supervised them.
22 The overseer of the Levites in Yerushalem was Uzzi (son of Bani, son of Hashavyah, son of Mattanyah, son of Mika)—a descendant of Asaf’s sons who were the temple singers 23 because the Persian king had ordered that the singers should have daily provisions supplied.
24 Petahyah (son of Meshezavel, from the sons of Zerah, the son of Yehudah) was the intermediary with the king for any matter that the people raised.
25 Most of Yehudah’s descendants settled in the villages with their fields nearby: in Kiryat-Arba and the surrounding villages, in Divon and the surrounding villages, and in Yekavtse’el and the surrounding villages, 26 in Yeshua, in Moladah, and in Beyt-Pelet, 27 in Hatsar-Shual, and in Beer-Sheva and the surrounding villages, 28 in Tsiklag, and in Mekonah and the surrounding villages, 29 in En-Rimmon, in Tsorah, and in Yarmut, 30 in Zanoah and Adullam and their villages, in Azekah and its villages. So they settled from Beer-Sheva all the way to the Hinnom valley.
31 Benyamin’s descendants settled in Geva, Mikmas, Ayyah, and Beyt-El and its villages, 32 in Anatot, Nov, and Anayah, 33 in Hatsor, Ramah, and Gittayim, 34 in Hadid, Tsevoim, and Nevallat, 35 in Lod, Ono, and in the Craftsmen’s valley. 36 Also some Levites previously connected with Yehudah settled in Benyamin.
