101 Now on the sealed document were the names of: Nehemiah the governor , the son of Hacaliah , and Zedekiah , 2 Seraiah , Azariah , Jeremiah , 3 Pashhur , Amariah , Malchijah , 4 Hattush , Shebaniah , Malluch , 5 Harim , Meremoth , Obadiah , 6 Daniel , Ginnethon , Baruch , 7 Meshullam , Abijah , Mijamin , 8 Maaziah , Bilgai , Shemaiah . These were the priests . 9 And the Levites : Jeshua the son of Azaniah , Binnui of the sons of Henadad , Kadmiel ; 10 also their brothers Shebaniah , Hodiah , Kelita , Pelaiah , Hanan , 11 Mica , Rehob , Hashabiah , 12 Zaccur , Sherebiah , Shebaniah , 13 Hodiah , Bani , Beninu . 14 The leaders of the people : Parosh , Pahath-moab , Elam , Zattu , Bani , 15 Bunni , Azgad , Bebai , 16 Adonijah , Bigvai , Adin , 17 Ater , Hezekiah , Azzur , 18 Hodiah , Hashum , Bezai , 19 Hariph , Anathoth , Nebai , 20 Magpiash , Meshullam , Hezir , 21 Meshezabel , Zadok , Jaddua , 22 Pelatiah , Hanan , Anaiah , 23 Hoshea , Hananiah , Hasshub , 24 Hallohesh , Pilha , Shobek , 25 Rehum , Hashabnah , Maaseiah , 26 Ahiah , Hanan , Anan , 27 Malluch , Harim , Baanah . 28 Now the rest of the people , the priests , the Levites , the gatekeepers , the singers , the temple servants and all those who had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the law of God , their wives , their sons and their daughters , all those who had knowledge and understanding , 29 are joining with their kinsmen , their nobles , and are taking on themselves a curse and an oath to walk in God's law , which was given through Moses , God's servant , and to keep and to observe all the commandments of GOD our Lord , and His ordinances and His statutes ; 30 and that we will not give our daughters to the peoples of the land or take their daughters for our sons . 31 As for the peoples of the land who bring wares or any grain on the sabbath day to sell , we will not buy from them on the sabbath or a holy day ; and we will forego the crops the seventh year and the exaction of every debt .
32 We also placed ourselves under obligation to contribute yearly one third of a shekel for the service of the house of our God : 33 for the showbread e , for the continual grain offering , for the continual burnt offering , the sabbaths , the new moon , for the appointed times , for the holy things and for the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel , and all the work of the house of our God . 34 Likewise we cast lots for the supply of wood among the priests , the Levites and the people so that they might bring it to the house of our God , according to our fathers' households , at fixed times annually , to burn on the altar of the Lord our God , as it is written in the law ; 35 and that they might bring the first fruits of our ground and the first fruits of all the fruit of every tree to the house of the Lord annually , 36 and bring to the house of our God the firstborn of our sons and of our cattle , and the firstborn of our herds and our flocks as it is written in the law , for the priests who are ministering in the house of our God . 37 We will also bring the first of our dough , our contributions , the fruit of every tree , the new wine and the oil to the priests at the chambers of the house of our God , and the tithe of our ground to the Levites , for the Levites are they who receive the tithes in all the rural towns . 38 The priest , the son of Aaron , shall be with the Levites when the Levites receive tithes , and the Levites shall bring up the tenth of the tithes to the house of our God , to the chambers of the storehouse . 39 For the sons of Israel and the sons of Levi shall bring the contribution of the grain , the new wine and the oil to the chambers ; there are the utensils of the sanctuary , the priests who are ministering , the gatekeepers and the singers . Thus we will not neglect the house of our God .
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 .
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 . So they encamped from Beersheba as far as the valley of Hinnom . 31 The sons of Benjamin also lived from Geba onward, at Michmash and Aija , at Bethel and its towns , 32 at Anathoth , Nob , Ananiah , 33 Hazor , Ramah , Gittaim , 34 Hadid , Zeboim , Neballat , 35 Lod and Ono , the valley of craftsmen . 36 From the Levites , some divisions in Judah belonged to Benjamin .
