Nehemiah 11
1 And the chiefs of the people dwelt
in Jerusalem: and the rest of the people cast lots, to bring one of
every ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and
nine parts in the other cities.
2 And the people blessed all the men
that volunteered to dwell in Jerusalem.
3 Now these
are the chiefs of the province who dwelt in
Jerusalem, and in the cities of Juda; every man dwelt
in his possession in their cities: Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and
the Nathinim, and the children of the servants of Solomon.
4 And there dwelt in Jerusalem
some of the children of Juda, and of the children of
Benjamin. Of the children of Juda; Athaia son of Azia, the son of Zacharia,
the son of Samaria, the son of Saphatia, the son of Maleleel, and
some of the sons of Phares;
5 and Maasia son of Baruch, son of
Chalaza, son of Ozia, son of Adaia, son of Joarib, son of Zacharias, son of
Seloni. 6 All the sons of Phares who
dwelt in Jerusalem were four hundred and sixty-eight
men of might. 7 And these
were the children of Benjamin; Selo son of Mesulam,
son of Joad, son of Phadaia, son of Coleia, son of Maasias, son of Ethiel, son
of Jesia. 8 And after him Gebe, Seli,
nine hundred and twenty-eight. 9 And
Joel son of Zechri was overseer over them: and Juda
son of Asana was second in the city.
10 Of the priests: both Jadia son of
Joarib, and Jachin. 11 Saraia, son of
Elchia, son of Mesulam, son of Sadduc, son of Marioth, son of Aetoth, was over
the house of God. 12 And their
brethren doing the work of the house were eight hundred and twenty-two: and
Adaia son of Jeroam, son of Phalalia, son of Amasi, son of Zacharia, son of
Phassur, son of Melchia, 13 and his
brethren, chiefs of families, two hundred and forty-two: and Amasia son of
Esdriel, son of Mesarimith, son of Emmer,
14 and his brethren, mighty men of
war, a hundred and twenty-eight: and their overseer
was Badiel son of
one of the great men.
15 And of the Levites; Samaia, son of
Esricam, 17 Matthanias son of Micha,
and Jobeb son of Samui, 18 two
hundred and eighty-four. 19 And the
porters; Acub, Telamin, and their brethren, a hundred and seventy-two.
22 And the overseer of the Levites
was the son of Bani, son of Ozi, son of Asabia, the
son of Micha. Of the sons of Asaph the singers
some were over the house of God,
23 For so was the king's commandment
concerning them. 24 And Phathaia son
of Baseza was in attendance on the king in every matter for the people,
25 and with regard to villages in
their country district: and some of the children of
Juda dwelt in Cariatharboc, 26 and in
Jesu, 27 and in Bersabee:
30 And their villages
were Lachis and her hands: and they pitched their
tents in Bersabee. 31 And the
children of Benjamin dwelt from Gabaa
to Machmas.
36 And of the Levites there were
divisions to Juda and to Benjamin.
