1 And all Israel was reckoned, and behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel. And Judah was removed to Babylon for their trespass.

2 And the first dwellers who were in their possessions in their cities of Israel were the priests, the Levites, and the Nethinim.

3 And in Jerusalem dwelt some of the sons of Judah, and some of the sons of Benjamin, and some of the sons of Ephraim and Manasseh:

4 Uthai son of Ammihud, son of Omri, son of Imri, son of Bani of Perez son of Judah.

5 And of the Shilonite: Asaiah the firstborn and his sons.

6 And of the sons of Zerah: Jeuel and their brothers, six hundred and ninety.

7 And of the sons of Benjamin: Sallu son of Meshullam, son of Hodaviah, son of Senuah;

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

9 and their brothers according to their generations—nine hundred and fifty-six. All these men were heads of fathers according to the house of their fathers.

10 And of the priests: Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin;

11 and Azariah son of Hilkiah, son of Meshullam, son of Zadok, son of Meraioth, son of Ahitub, leader in the house of God;

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

13 and their brothers, heads of the house of their fathers, a thousand and seven hundred and sixty mighty of valor for the work of the service of the house of God.

14 And of the Levites: Shemaiah son of Hasshub, son of Azrikam, son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;

15 and Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and Mattaniah son of Micha, son of Zichri, son of Asaph;

16 and Obadiah son of Shemaiah, son of Galal, son of Jeduthun; and Berechiah son of Asa, son of Elkanah, who dwelt in the villages of the Netophathite.

17 And the gatekeepers: Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brothers. Shallum was the chief;

18 and until then at the Gate of the King on the east they had been the gatekeepers for the camps of the sons of Levi.
