1 All Israel was recorded in the genealogies in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. The Israelites were taken away to Babylon as captives because they had sinned. 2 The first to settle again on their property in their own cities were [some] Israelites, the priests, the Levites, and the temple servants. 3 Jerusalem was settled by descendants of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh: 4 From the descendants of Perez, son of Judah, was Uthai, who was the son of Ammihud, grandson of Omri, and great-grandson of Imri. (Imri's father was Bani.) 1 Chronicles 9:1-4, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
