Nehemiah 11:20-36
20The restH7605 of the IsraelitesH3478, with the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881, were in allH3605 the villagesH5892 of JudahH3063, eachH376 on his own inheritanceH5159. 21The temple servantsH5411 livedH3427 on the hill of OphelH6077, with ZihaH6727 and GishpaH1658 overH5921 them.
22Now the overseerH6496 of the LevitesH3881 in JerusalemH3389 was UzziH5813 sonH1121 of BaniH1137, the sonH1121 of HashabiahH2811, the sonH1121 of MattaniahH4983, the sonH1121 of MicaH4316.1 He was one of Asaph’sH623 descendantsH1121, who were the singersH7891 in chargeH5048 of the serviceH4399 of the houseH1004 of GodH430. 23ForH3588 there was a commandH4687 from the kingH4428 concerningH5921 the singers, an ordinanceH548 regulatingH5921 their dailyH3117 activitiesH1697. 24PethahiahH6611 sonH1121 of MeshezabelH4898, a descendantH1121 of ZerahH2226 sonH1121 of JudahH3063, was the king’sH4428 agentH30272 in everyH3605 matterH1697 concerning the peopleH5971.
25As forH413 the villagesH2691 with their fieldsH7704, some of the peopleH1121 of JudahH3063 livedH3427 in Kiriath-arbaH7153, DibonH1769, JekabzeelH3343, and their villagesH2691; 26in JeshuaH3442, MoladahH4137, and Beth-peletH1046; 27in Hazar-shualH2705; in BeershebaH884 and its villagesH1323; 28in ZiklagH6860; in MeconahH4368 and its villagesH1323; 29in En-rimmonH5884, ZorahH6881, JarmuthH3412, 30ZanoahH2182, AdullamH5725, and their villagesH2691; in LachishH3923 and its fieldsH7704; and in AzekahH5825 and its villagesH1323. So they settledH2583 from BeershebaH884 all the way toH5704 the ValleyH1516 of HinnomH2011.
31The descendantsH1121 of BenjaminH1144 from GebaH1387 lived in MichmashH4363, AijaH5857, and BethelH1008 with its villagesH1323; 32in AnathothH6068, NobH5011, AnaniahH6055, 33HazorH2674, RamahH7414, GittaimH1664, 34HadidH2307, ZeboimH6650, NeballatH5041, 35LodH3850, and OnoH207; and in the ValleyH1516 of the CraftsmenH2798.3
36And someH4480 divisionsH4256 of the LevitesH3881 of JudahH3063 settled in BenjaminH1144.
