The Residents of Jerusalem

111 Now the leaders of the people lived in Jerusalem , but the rest of the people cast lots to bring one out of ten to live in Jerusalem , the holy city , while nine-tenths remained in the other cities . 2 And the people blessed all the men who volunteered to live in Jerusalem . 3 Now these are the heads of the provinces who lived in Jerusalem , but in the cities of Judah each lived on his own property in their cities -the Israelites , the priests , the Levites , the temple servants and the descendants of Solomon's servants . 4 Some of the sons of Judah and some of the sons of Benjamin lived in Jerusalem . From the sons 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 sons 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 who lived in Jerusalem were 468 e e e able men . 7 Now 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 and Sallai , 928 e e e . 9 Joel the son of Zichri was their overseer , and Judah the son of Hassenuah was second in command of the city . 10 From 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 leader of the house of God , 12 and their kinsmen who performed the work of the temple , 822 e e e ; 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 kinsmen , heads of fathers' households, 242 e e ; and Amashsai the son of Azarel , the son of Ahzai , the son of Meshillemoth , the son of Immer , 14 and their brothers , valiant warriors , 128 e e . And their overseer was Zabdiel , the son of Haggedolim . 15 Now from the Levites : Shemaiah the son of Hasshub , the son of Azrikam , the son of Hashabiah , the son of Bunni ; 16 and Shabbethai and Jozabad , from the leaders of the Levites , who were in charge of the outside work of the house of God ; 17 and Mattaniah the son of Mica , the son of Zabdi , the son of Asaph , who was the leader in beginning the thanksgiving at prayer , and Bakbukiah , the second among his brethren ; and Abda the son of Shammua , the son of Galal , the son of Jeduthun . 18 All the Levites in the holy city were 284 e e . 19 Also the gatekeepers , Akkub , Talmon and their brethren who kept watch at the gates , were 172 e e .

20 The rest of Israel , of the priests and of the Levites , were in all the cities of Judah , each on his own inheritance . 21 But the temple servants were living in Ophel , and Ziha and Gishpa were in charge of the temple servants . 22 Now the overseer of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani , the son of Hashabiah , the son of Mattaniah , the son of Mica , from the sons of Asaph , who were the singers for the service of the house of God . 23 For there was a commandment from the king concerning them and a firm regulation for the song leaders day by day . 24 Pethahiah the son of Meshezabel , of the sons of Zerah the son of Judah , was the king's representative in all matters concerning the people .

The Settlement outside of Jerusalem

25 Now as for the villages with their fields , some of the sons of Judah lived in Kiriath-arba and its towns , in Dibon and its towns , and in Jekabzeel and its villages , 26 and in Jeshua , in Moladah and Beth-pelet , 27 and in Hazar-shual , in Beersheba and its towns , 28 and in Ziklag , in Meconah and in its towns , 29 and in En-rimmon , in Zorah and in Jarmuth , 30 Zanoah , Adullam , and their villages , Lachish and its fields , Azekah and its towns .
