Nehemiah 11:20-36

20The rest of Israel, the priests, and the Levites were in all the villages of Judah, each on his own inherited property.

21The temple servants lived on Ophel; Ziha and Gishpa supervised the temple servants.

22The leader of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi son of Bani, son of Hashabiah, son of Mattaniah, son of Mica, of the descendants of Asaph, who were singers for the service of God’s house.

23There was, in fact, a command of the king regarding them, and an ordinance regulating the singers’ daily tasks.

24Pethahiah son of Meshezabel, of the descendants of Zerah son of Judah, was the king’s agent in every matter concerning the people.

25As for the farming settlements with their fields: Some of Judah’s descendants lived in Kiriath-arba and Dibon and their surrounding villages, and Jekabzeel and its settlements;

26in Jeshua, Moladah, Beth-pelet,

27Hazar-shual, and Beer-sheba and its surrounding villages;

28in Ziklag and Meconah and its surrounding villages;

29in En-rimmon, Zorah, Jarmuth, and

30Zanoah and Adullam with their settlements; in Lachish with its fields and Azekah and its surrounding villages. So they settled from Beer-sheba to Hinnom Valley.

31Benjamin’s descendants: from Geba, Michmash, Aija, and Bethel and its surrounding villages,

32Anathoth, Nob, Ananiah,

33Hazor, Ramah, Gittaim,

34Hadid, Zeboim, Neballat,

35Lod, and Ono, in Craftsmen’s Valley.

36Some of the Judean divisions of Levites were in Benjamin.
