Nehemiah 11:20-36

20And the rest of the Israelites, with the priests and the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, each on his own property.

21The temple attendants were living on Ophel, and Ziha and Gishpa were over them.

22The overseer of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica. He was one of Asaph’s descendants who were the singers responsible for the service of the temple of God.

23For they were under royal orders which determined their activity day by day.

24Pethahiah son of Meshezabel, one of the descendants of Zerah son of Judah, was an adviser to the king in every matter pertaining to the people.

25As for the settlements with their fields, some of the people of Judah settled in Kiriath Arba and its neighboring villages, in Dibon and its villages, in Jekabzeel and its settlements,

26in Jeshua, in Moladah, in Beth Pelet,

27in Hazar Shual, in Beer Sheba and its villages,

28in Ziklag, in Meconah and its villages,

29in En Rimmon, in Zorah, in Jarmuth,

30Zanoah, Adullam and their settlements, in Lachish and its fields, and in Azekah and its villages. So they were encamped from Beer Sheba to the Valley of Hinnom.

31Some of the descendants of Benjamin settled in Geba, Micmash, Aija, Bethel and its villages,

32in Anathoth, Nob, and Ananiah,

33in Hazor, Ramah, and Gittaim,
