1 Chronicles 9:2-9

2The first to settle again on their property in their own cities were ⌞some⌟ Israelites, the priests, the Levites, and the temple servants.

3Jerusalem was settled by descendants of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh:

4From the descendants of Perez, son of Judah, was Uthai, who was the son of Ammihud, grandson of Omri, and great-grandson of Imri. (Imri’s father was Bani.)

5From the descendants of Shilah were Asaiah (the firstborn) and his sons.

6And from the descendants of Zerah were Jeuel and their relatives, 690 in all.

7From the descendants of Benjamin were Sallu (son of Meshullam, grandson of Hodaviah, and great-grandson of Hassenuah),

8Ibneiah (son of Jeroham), Elah (son of Uzzi and grandson of Michri), and Meshullam (son of Shephatiah, grandson of Reuel, and great-grandson of Ibniah),

9and their relatives according to their ancestry. All of these men were heads of their families. A total of 956 of them lived in Jerusalem.
