Context of 1 Chronicles 9:3

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.
