Nehemiah 11:3-9

3These are the leaders of the region of Judah who went to live in Jerusalem. Other Israelites, priests, Levites, temple servants and descendants of King Solomon's servants lived in the other towns of Judah. Each of them lived in their own homes.

4But some of Judah's and Benjamin's descendants went to live in Jerusalem. This is who they were: From the tribe of Judah: Athaiah, son of Uzziah and Zechariah's grandson. His other ancestors were: Amariah, Shephatiah and Mahalalel. They were descendants of Judah's son, Perez.

5Maaseiah, son of Baruch and Col-Hozeh's grandson. His other ancestors were: Hazaiah, Adaiah, Joiarib and Zechariah. They were descendants of Judah's son, Shelah.

6There were 468 descendants of Perez who went to live in Jerusalem. They were all brave men.

7From the tribe of Benjamin: Sallu, son of Meshullam and Joed's grandson. His other ancestors were: Pedaiah, Kolaiah, Maaseiah, Ithiel and Jeshaiah.

8Sallu's relatives, Gabbai and Sallai were also there. There were 928 men from Benjamin's tribe.

9Zicri's son, Joel, was the officer with authority over them. Hassenuah's son, Judah, was the next most important officer in the city.
