Context of Nehemiah 11:4
2The people asked God to bless all the men who chose to live in Jerusalem. 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.

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.
