Nehemiah 11:20-36

20The rest of Israel, the kohanim, and the Levites, were in all the towns of Judah, each in his own inheritance.

21But the Temple servants dwelt on the Ophel, with Ziha and Gishpa over the Temple servants.

22The one in charge over the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani, son of Hashabiah, son of Mattaniah, son of Mica, from the sons of Asaph who were singers responsible for the service in the House of God.

23The king’s command concerning them was to provide regular daily support for the singers.

24Pethahiah the son of Meshezabel, from the descendants of Zerah the son of Judah, was the king’s agent for any matter concerning the people.

25Now as for the villages with their fields, some of the people of Judah dwelt in Kiriat-arba and its towns, in Dibon and its towns, in Jekabzeel and its villages,

26in Jeshua; in Moladah, in Beth-pelet;

27in Hazar-shual, in Beersheba and its towns,

28in Ziklag, in Meconah and its towns,

29in En-rimmon, in Zorah, in Jarmuth,

30in Zanoah, Adullam, and their villages, in Lachish and its fields, and in Azekah and its towns. So they settled from Beersheba to the Hinnom valley.

31The descendants of Benjamin dwelt in Geba, Michmas and Aijah, Bethel and its towns,

32Anatoth, Nob, Ananiah,

33Hazor, Ramah, Gittaim,

34Hadid, Zeboim, Neballat,

35Lod, Ono and Ge-harashim.

36Some of the divisions of the Levites of Judah settled with Benjamin.
