20The restH7605 of IsraelH3478, of the priestsH3548 and of the LevitesH3881, were in allH3605 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, eachH376 1on his own inheritanceH5159. 21But 2the templeH5411 servantsH5411 were livingH3427 in OphelH6077, and ZihaH6727 and GishpaH1658 were 3inH5921 chargeH5921 ofH5921 the templeH5411 servantsH5411.

22Now 4the overseerH6496 of the LevitesH3881 in JerusalemH3389 was UzziH5813 the sonH1121 of BaniH1137, the sonH1121 of HashabiahH2811, the sonH1121 of MattaniahH4983, the sonH1121 of MicaH4316, from the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623, who were the singersH7891 for the 5serviceH4399 of the houseH1004 of GodH430. 236For there was a commandmentH4687 from the kingH4428 concerningH5921 them and a royalH548 commandH548 for the singersH7891 7dayH3117 by dayH3117. 24And PethahiahH6611 the sonH1121 of MeshezabelH4898, of the sonsH1121 8of ZerahH2226 the sonH1121 of JudahH3063, was the 9king’sH4428 10representativeH3027 for everyH3605 matterH1697 concerning the peopleH5971.

25Now as for the villagesH2691 with their fieldsH7704, someH4480 of the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 livedH3427 in 11Kiriath-arbaH7153 and its 12townsH1323, in 13DibonH1769 and its 14townsH1323, and in JekabzeelH6909 and its villagesH2691, 26and in JeshuaH3091, in MoladahH4137, and Beth-peletH1046, 27and in Hazar-shualH2705, in BeershebaH884 and its townsH1323, 28and in ZiklagH6860, in MeconahH4368 and in its townsH1323, 29and in En-rimmonH5884, in ZorahH6881, and in JarmuthH3412, 30ZanoahH2182, AdullamH5725, and their villagesH2691, LachishH3923 and its fieldsH7704, AzekahH5825 and its townsH1323. So they campedH2583 from BeershebaH884 as farH5704 as the ValleyH1516 of HinnomH2011. 31The sonsH1121 of BenjaminH1144 also lived from GebaH1387 onward, at MichmashH4363 and AijaH5857, at BethelH1008 and its townsH1323, 32at AnathothH6068, NobH5011, AnaniahH6055, 33HazorH2674, RamahH7414, GittaimH1664, 34HadidH2307, ZeboimH6650, NeballatH5041, 35LodH3850, and OnoH207, the ValleyH1516 of CraftsmenH2796. 36And from the LevitesH3881, some divisionsH4256 in JudahH3063 belonged to BenjaminH1144.
