1 Chronicles 9:1-13 ▼

1 All Israel was registered in the genealogies that are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel. But Judah was exiled to Babylon because of their unfaithfulness.

2 The first to live in their towns on their own property again were Israelites, priests, Levites, and temple servants.

3 These people from the descendants of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh settled in Jerusalem:

4 Uthai son of Ammihud, son of Omri, son of Imri, son of Bani, a descendant of Perez son of Judah;

5 from the Shilonites: Asaiah the firstborn and his sons;

6 and from the descendants of Zerah: Jeuel and their relatives—690 in all.

7 The Benjaminites: Sallu son of Meshullam, son of Hodaviah, son of Hassenuah;

8 Ibneiah son of Jeroham; Elah son of Uzzi, son of Michri; Meshullam son of Shephatiah, son of Reuel, son of Ibnijah;

9 and their relatives according to their family records—956 in all. All these men were heads of their ancestral families.

10 The priests: Jedaiah; Jehoiarib; Jachin;

11 Azariah son of Hilkiah, son of Meshullam, son of Zadok, son of Meraioth, son of Ahitub, the chief official of God’s temple;

12 Adaiah son of Jeroham, son of Pashhur, son of Malchijah; Maasai son of Adiel, son of Jahzerah, son of Meshullam, son of Meshillemith, son of Immer;
