Nehemiah 11:3-9

3These are the heads of the province who stayed in Jerusalem (but in the villages of Judah each lived on his own property in their towns  — the Israelites, priests, Levites, temple servants, and descendants of Solomon’s servants  —

4while some of the descendants of Judah and Benjamin settled in Jerusalem): Judah’s descendants: Athaiah son of Uzziah, son of Zechariah, son of Amariah, son of Shephatiah, son of Mahalalel, of Perez’s descendants;

5and Maaseiah son of Baruch, son of Col-hozeh, son of Hazaiah, son of Adaiah, son of Joiarib, son of Zechariah, a descendant of the Shilonite.

6The total number of Perez’s descendants, who settled in Jerusalem, was 468 capable men.

7These were Benjamin’s descendants: Sallu son of Meshullam, son of Joed, son of Pedaiah, son of Kolaiah, son of Maaseiah, son of Ithiel, son of Jeshaiah,

8and after him Gabbai and Sallai: 928.

9Joel son of Zichri was the officer over them, and Judah son of Hassenuah was second in command over the city.
