Context of Nehemiah 11:25

23The king commanded the singers what they must do each day. 24Meshezabel's son, Pethahiah, was one of the king's advisors. He helped the king of Persia to know how to rule the Israelite people. Pethahiah was a descendant of Judah's son, Zerah. Many people of Judah lived in villages with their farms near them. Some of them lived in Kiriath Arba, Dibon and Jekabzeel, and in the villages near those towns. 26Other people lived in Jeshua, Moladah, Beth Pelet 27and Hazar-Shual, as well as in Beersheba and the villages near it.
