Nehemiah 11:20-36

20Now the rest of Israel, the priests and the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, each on his own inheritance.

21But the temple servants were living in Ophel; Ziha and Gishpa were in charge of the temple servants.

22The overseer of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica, from Asaph’s sons, who were the singers in regard to the work of the house of God.

23For there was a command from the [Persian] king regarding the singers, as to their daily task.

24Pethahiah the son of Meshezabel, of the sons of Zerah the son of Judah, was the king’s representative in all matters concerning the people.

25As for the villages with their fields, some sons (descendants) of Judah lived in Kiriath-arba and its towns, Dibon and its towns, and Jekabzeel and its villages,

26in Jeshua, in Moladah, in Beth-pelet,

27in Hazar-shual and in Beersheba and its towns,

28in Ziklag and in Meconah and its towns,

29in En-rimmon, in Zorah, and in Jarmuth,

30Zanoah, Adullam, and their villages, Lachish and its fields, and Azekah and its towns. So they camped from Beersheba as far as the Hinnom Valley.

31The sons (descendants) of Benjamin also lived from Geba onward, at Michmash, Aija, Bethel and its towns,

32at Anathoth, Nob, Ananiah,

33Hazor, Ramah, Gittaim,

34Hadid, Zeboim, Neballat,

35Lod, and Ono, the Valley of the Craftsmen.

36And certain divisions of the Levites in Judah belonged to Benjamin.
