1  And the rulers of the people dwelt at Jerusalem: the rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts to dwell in other cities.
2  And the people blessed all the men, that willingly offered themselves to dwell at Jerusalem.
3  ¶ Now these are the chief 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 Neth'inim, and the children of Solomon's servants.
4  And at Jerusalem dwelt certain of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin. Neh. 7.73 Of the children of Judah; Athai'ah the son of Uzzi'ah, the son of Zechari'ah, the son of Amari'ah, the son of Shephati'ah, the son of Mahal'aleel, of the children of Perez;

11  Serai'ah the son of Hilki'ah, the son of Meshul'lam, the son of Zadok, the son of Merai'oth, the son of Ahi'tub, was the ruler of the house of God.

15  ¶ Also of the Levites: Shemai'ah the son of Hashub, the son of Az'rikam, the son of Hashabi'ah, the son of Bunni;
16  and Shab'bethai and Joz'abad, of the chief of the Levites, had the oversight of the outward business of the house of God.
17  And Mattani'ah the son of Micha, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, was the principal to begin the thanksgiving in prayer: and Bakbuki'ah the second among his brethren, and Abda the son of Shammu'a, the son of Galal, the son of Jedu'thun.
18  All the Levites in the holy city were two hundred fourscore and four.
19  ¶ Moreover the porters, Akkub, Talmon, and their brethren that kept the gates, were a hundred seventy and two.
20  And the residue of Israel, of the priests, and the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, every one in his inheritance.
21  But the Neth'inim dwelt in Ophel: and Ziha and Gispa were over the Neth'inim.
22  ¶ The overseer also of the Levites at Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashabi'ah, the son of Mattani'ah, the son of Micha. Of the sons of Asaph, the singers were over the business of the house of God.
23  For it was the king's commandment concerning them, that a certain portion should be for the singers, due for every day.
