Nehemiah 11
11 1And the princes of the people dwelt in Jerusalem: the rest of the
people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy
city, and nine parts in the other cities.
2And the people blessed
all the men that willingly offered themselves to dwell in Jerusalem.
3Now
these are the chiefs of the province that dwelt in Jerusalem: but in the
cities of Judah dwelt every one in his possession in their cities, to
wit, Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the Nethinim, and the
children of Solomon's servants.
4And in Jerusalem dwelt certain of the
children of Judah, and of the children 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;
5and
Maaseiah the son of Baruch, the son of Colhozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son
of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, the son of the

15And of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son
of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni;
16and Shabbethai and
Jozabad, of the chiefs of the Levites, who had the oversight of the outward
business of the house of God;
17and Mattaniah the son of Mica, the son of
Zabdi, the son of Asaph, who was the chief to begin the thanksgiving in
prayer, and Bakbukiah, the second among his brethren; and Abda the son of
Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun.
18All the Levites in the
holy city were two hundred fourscore and four.
19Moreover the porters,
Akkub, Talmon, and their brethren, that kept watch at the gates, were a
hundred seventy and two.
20And the residue of Israel, of the priests, the
Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, every one in his inheritance.
21But the Nethinim dwelt in Ophel: and Ziha and Gishpa were over the
Nethinim.
22The overseer also 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 singers, over the business of the house of God.
23For there was a commandment from the king concerning them, and a
settled provision for the singers, as every day required.
24And Pethahiah
the son of Meshezabel, of the children of Zerah the son of Judah, was at the
king's hand in all matters concerning the people.
25And as for the
villages, with their fields, some of the children of Judah dwelt in
Kiriath-arba and the towns thereof, and in Dibon and the towns thereof, and
in Jekabzeel and the villages thereof,
26and in Jeshua, and in Moladah,
and Beth-pelet,

30Zanoah, Adullam,
and their villages, Lachish and the fields thereof, Azekah and the towns
thereof. So they encamped from Beer-sheba unto the valley of Hinnom.
31The children of Benjamin also dwelt from Geba onward,

32at
Anathoth, Nob, Ananiah,

36And of the
