1 Chronicles 9:1-8 ▼

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.)

5 From the descendants of Shilah were Asaiah (the firstborn) and his sons.

6 And from the descendants of Zerah were Jeuel and their relatives, 690 in all.

7 From the descendants of Benjamin were Sallu (son of Meshullam, grandson of Hodaviah, and great-grandson of Hassenuah),

8 Ibneiah (son of Jeroham), Elah (son of Uzzi and grandson of Michri), and Meshullam (son of Shephatiah, grandson of Reuel, and great-grandson of Ibniah),
