[1] And the rulers of the people were living in Jerusalem: the rest of the
people made selection, by the decision of chance, of one out of every ten
to be living in Jerusalem, the holy town; the other nine to go to the other
towns. [2] And the people gave a blessing to all the men who were freely
offering to take up their places in Jerusalem. [3] Now these are the chiefs
of the divisions of the country who were living in Jerusalem: but in the
towns of Judah everyone was living on his heritage in the towns, that is,
Israel, the priests, the Levites, the Nethinim, and the children of
Solomon's servants. [4] And in Jerusalem there were living certain of the
children of Judah and 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 Mahalalel, of the children of Perez; [5] And
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
Shilonite. [6] All the sons of Perez living in Jerusalem were four hundred
and sixty-eight men of good position. [7] And 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. [8] And after him Gabbai, Sallai, nine hundred and twenty-eight.
[9] And Joel, the son of Zichri, was their overseer; and Judah, the son of
Hassenuah, was second over the town. [10] Of the priests: Jedaiah, the son
of Joiarib, Jachin, [11] Seraiah, the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam,
the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the
house of God, [12] And their brothers who did the work of the house, eight
hundred and twenty-two; and Adaiah, the son of Jeroham, the son of
Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashhur, the
son of Malchijah, [13] And his brothers, heads of families, two hundred and
forty-two; and Amashsai, the son of Azarel, the son of Ahzai, the son of
Meshillemoth, the son of Immer, [14] And their brothers, men of war, a
hundred and twenty-eight; and their overseer was Zabdiel, the son of
Haggedolim. [15] And of the Levites: Shemaiah, the son of Hasshub, the son
of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni, [16] And Shabbethai and
Jozabad, of the chiefs of the Levites, who were responsible for the outside
business of the house of God; [17] And Mattaniah, the son of Mica, the son
of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, who had to give the first note of the song of
praise in prayer, and Bakbukiah, the second among his brothers, and Abda,
the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun. [18] All the
Levites in the holy town were two hundred and eighty-four. [19] In addition
the door-keepers, Akkub, Talmon, and their brothers who kept watch at the
doors, were a hundred and seventy-two. [20] And the rest of Israel, of the
priests, the Levites, were in all the towns of Judah, every one in his
heritage. [21] But the Nethinim were living in the Ophel; and Ziha and
Gishpa were over the Nethinim. [22] And 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 music-makers, who was
over the business of the house of God. [23] For there was an order from the
king about them and a regular amount for the music-makers, for their needs
day by day. [24] And Pethahiah, the son of Meshezabel, of the sons of
Zerah, the son of Judah, was the king's servant in everything to do with
the people. [25] And for the daughter-towns with their fields, some of the
men of Judah were living in Kiriath-arba and its daughter-towns, and in
Dibon and its daughter-towns, and in Jekabzeel and its daughter-towns, [26]
And in Jeshua, and in Moladah, and Beth-pelet, [27] And in Hazar-shual, and
in Beer-sheba and its daughter-towns, [28] And in Ziklag, and in Meconah
and its daughter-towns, [29] And in En-rimmon, and in Zorah, and in
Jarmuth, [30] Zanoah, Adullam and their daughter-towns, Lachish and its
fields, Azekah and its daughter-towns. So they were living from Beer-sheba
to the valley of Hinnom. [31] And the children of Benjamin were living from
Geba, at Michmash and Aija, and at Beth-el and its daughter-towns, [32] At
Anathoth, Nob, Ananiah, [33] Hazor, Ramah, Gittaim, [34] Hadid, Zeboim,
Neballat, [35] Lod and Ono, the valley of expert workers. [36] And of the
Levites, certain divisions in Judah were joined to Benjamin.
