Jews who settled in Jerusalem after the exile in Babylon
9
📚So all Israel was listed by genealogies, and these were written down in the book of The Kings of Israel and Judah (who was taken away to Babylon 📖 because of their transgression).2 📚Now the first who lived in 📖 their possessions in their cities were some Israelites, the priests, Levites, and the Nethinim. 3 📚And in Jerusalem lived some of the children of Judah and the children of Benjamin and the children of Ephraim and Manasseh 📖: 4 📚Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the children of Pharez the son of Judah; 5 📚and of the Shilonites, Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons; 6 📚and of the sons of Zerah, Jeuel, and their brethren, six hundred and ninety; 7 📚and of the sons of Benjamin, Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hasenuah, 8 and Ibneiah the son of Jeroham, and Elah the son of Uzzi, the son of Michri, and Meshullam the son of Shephathiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah, 9 📚and their brethren, according to their generations, nine hundred and fifty-six. All these men were chief of the fathers in the house of their ancestors.
10 📚And of the priests, Jedaiah and Jehoiarib and Jachin 11 📚and Azariah, the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God, 12 📚and Adaiah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashur, the son of Malchijah, and Maasiai, the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer, 13 📚and their brethren, heads of the house of their fathers, a thousand seven hundred and sixty, very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.
14 📚And of the Levites, Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari, 15 📚and Bakbakkar, Heresh and Galal and Mattaniah the son of Micah, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph, 16 📚and Obadiah, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah, the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites.
17 📚And the gatekeepers were Shallum and Akkub and Talmon and Ahiman and their brethren, Shallum being the chief. 18 📚Before this they served at the eastern gate of the king. They were gatekeepers in the companies of the children of Levi. 19 📚And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, gatekeepers of the tabernacle 📖, as their fathers had been over the camp of the LORD, guarding the entrance. 20 📚And Phinehas 📖, the son of Eleazar, had the supervision over them in time past, and the LORD was with him. 21 📚And Zechariah, the son of Meshelemiah, was the doorkeeper of the tabernacle of the congregation. 22 📚All these who were chosen to be gatekeepers 📖 were two hundred and twelve. These were listed by their genealogy in their villages. David and Samuel the seer 📖 ordained them in their set office. 23 📚So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, the house of the tabernacle, as guards. 24 📚The gatekeepers were in four quarters, toward the east, west, north, and south. 25 📚And their brethren, who were in their villages, were to come in after seven days from time to time to be with them. 26 📚For these Levites, the four chief gatekeepers, were in their set office and were over the rooms and treasuries of the house of God. 27 📚And they stayed at night around the house of God, because the watch 📖 was committed to them, and opening up the house of God every morning was in their care.
28 📚And some of them had charge of the articles for the service to bring them in and out by count. 29 📚Some of them also were appointed to oversee the articles and all the furniture of the sanctuary, and the fine flour and the wine and the oil and the frankincense and the spices. 30 📚And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment from the spices 📖. 31 📚And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the oversight of the things that were made in pans. 32 📚And others of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the Showbread 📖, to prepare it every Sabbath.
33 📚And these were the singers 📖, chief of the fathers of the Levites, who stayed in the rooms and were free from other service; for they were employed in that work day and night. 34 📚These chief fathers of the Levites were chief throughout their generations. They lived at Jerusalem.
