¹And 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.²And the people blessed all the men, that willingly offered themselves to dwell at Jerusalem.³Now 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 Nethinims, and the children of Solomon’s servants.⁴And at Jerusalem dwelt certain of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin.

Of the sons of Asaph, the singers were over the business of the house of God.²³For it was the king’s commandment concerning them, that a certain portion should be for the singers, due for every day.²⁴And Pethahiah the son of Meshezabeel, of the children of Zerah the son of Judah, was at the king’s hand in all matters concerning the people.²⁵And for the villages, with their fields, some of the children of Judah dwelt at Kirjatharba, and in the villages thereof, and at Dibon, and in the villages thereof, and at Jekabzeel, and in the villages thereof,²⁶And at Jeshua, and at Moladah, and at Bethphelet,²⁷And at Hazarshual, and at Beersheba, and in the villages thereof,²⁸And at Ziklag, and at Mekonah, and in the villages thereof,²⁹And at Enrimmon, and at Zareah, and at Jarmuth,³⁰Zanoah, Adullam, and in their villages, at Lachish, and the fields thereof, at Azekah, and in the villages thereof. And they dwelt from Beersheba unto the valley of Hinnom.³¹The children also of Benjamin from Geba dwelt at Michmash, and Aija, and Bethel, and in their villages,³²And at Anathoth, Nob, Ananiah,³³Hazor, Ramah, Gittaim,³⁴Hadid, Zeboim, Neballat,³⁵Lod, and Ono, the valley of craftsmen.³⁶And of the Levites were divisions in Judah, and in Benjamin.
