1 Chronicles 9:1-17
1So all Israel was recorded in the genealogies written in the Book of the Kings of Israel. But Judah was exiled to Babylon because of their unfaithfulness.
2Now the first to resettle their own property in their cities were Israelites, priests, Levites, and temple servants.1
3Some of the descendants of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh lived in Jerusalem:
4Uthai son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, a descendant of Perez son of Judah. 5From the Shilonites: Asaiah the firstborn and his sons. 6From the Zerahites: Jeuel and 690 relatives. 7From the Benjamites: Sallu son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenuah; 8Ibneiah son of Jeroham; Elah son of Uzzi, the son of Michri; Meshullam son of Shephatiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah; 9and 956 of their relatives according to their genealogy. All these men were heads of their families. 10From the priests: Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, and Jachin; 11Azariah son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the chief official of God’s temple; 12Adaiah son of Jeroham, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah; Maasai son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith,2 the son of Immer; 13and 1,760 of their relatives, the heads of their families, able men for the work of the service of the house of God. 14From the Levites: Shemaiah son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, a descendant of Merari; 15Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal, and Mattaniah son of Mica, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph; 16Obadiah son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun; and Berechiah son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites. 17These were the gatekeepers: Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their relatives.
