Nehemiah 11:15-36

Now from the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni; and Shabbethai and Jozabad, from the leaders of the Levites, who were in charge of the outside work of the house of God; Mattaniah the son of Mica, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, who was the leader to begin the thanksgiving in prayer, and Bakbukiah, second among his brothers; and Abda the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun. All the Levites in the holy city totaled 284. The gatekeepers: Akkub, Talmon, and their kinsmen, who kept watch at the gates, totaled 172. Now the rest of Israel, the priests and the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, each on his own inheritance. But the temple servants were living in Ophel; Ziha and Gishpa were in charge of the temple servants. The overseer of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica, from Asaph’s sons, who were the singers in regard to the work of the house of God. For there was a command from the [Persian] king regarding the singers, as to their daily task. Pethahiah the son of Meshezabel, of the sons of Zerah the son of Judah, was the king’s representative in all matters concerning the people. As for the villages with their fields, some sons (descendants) of Judah lived in Kiriath-arba and its towns, Dibon and its towns, and Jekabzeel and its villages, in Jeshua, in Moladah, in Beth-pelet, in Hazar-shual and in Beersheba and its towns, in Ziklag and in Meconah and its towns, in En-rimmon, in Zorah, and in Jarmuth, Zanoah, Adullam, and their villages, Lachish and its fields, and Azekah and its towns. So they camped from Beersheba as far as the Hinnom Valley. The sons (descendants) of Benjamin also lived from Geba onward, at Michmash, Aija, Bethel and its towns, at Anathoth, Nob, Ananiah, Hazor, Ramah, Gittaim, Hadid, Zeboim, Neballat, Lod, and Ono, the Valley of the Craftsmen. And certain divisions of the Levites in Judah belonged to Benjamin.
