11 И първенците на людете се заселиха в Ерусалим; а останалите от людете хвърлиха жребие, за да доведат един от десет души да се засели в Ерусалим, в своя град, а девет части от населението в другите градове.

И людете благословиха всички ония човеци, които доброволно предложиха себе си да се заселят в Ерусалим.

А ето главните мъже от областта, които се заселиха в Ерусалим; (а в Юдовите градове се заселиха, всеки по притежанието си в градовете им, Израил, свещениците, левитите, нетинимите и потомците на Соломоновите слуги);

в Ерусалим се заселиха някои от юдейците и от вениаминците. От юдейците: Атаия син на Озия, син на Амария, син на Сафатия, син на Маалалеила, от Фаресовите потомци;

и Маасия син на Варуха, син на Холозея, син на Азаия, син на Адаия, син на Иоярива, син на Захария, син на Силония.

Всичките Фаресови потомци, които се заселиха в Ерусалим, бяха четиристотин и шестдесет и осем храбри мъже.

А вениаминците бяха следните: Салу син на Месулама, син на Иоада, син на Федаия, син на Колаия, син на Маасия, син на Итиила, син на Исаия;

и с тях Гавай и Салай; деветстотин двадесет и осем души.

Иоил, Захриевият син, беше надзирател над тях, а Юда Сенуиният син, беше втори над града.

10 От свещениците: Едаия, Иояривовият син, Яхин,

11 Сераия син на Хелкия, син на Месулама, син на Садока, син на Мераиота, син на управителя на Божия дом Ахитов;

12 и братята им, които вършеха работата на дома; осемстотин и двадесет и двама души; и Адаия син на Ероама, син на Фелалия, син на Амсия, син на Захария, син на Пасхора, син на Мелхия;

13 и братята му, началници на бащините домове; двеста и четиридесет и двама души; и Амасай син на Азареила, син на Аазая, син на Месилемота, син на Емира;

14 и братята им, силни и храбри мъже, сто и двадесет и осем души; а Завдиил, син на Гедолим, бе надзирател над тях.

15 А от левитите: Семаия син на Асува, син на Азрикама, син на Асавия, син на Вуний;

16 и Саветай и Иозавад, от левитските началници, бяха над външните работи на Божия дом.

17 И Матания син на Михея, син на Завдия, син на Асафа, който ръководеше славословието при молитвата, и Ваквукия, който беше вторият между братята си; и Авда, син на Самуя, син на Галала, син на Едутуна.

18 Всичките левити в светия град бяха двеста и осемдесет и четири души.

19 А вратарите: Акув, Талмон и братята им, които пазеха портите, бяха сто и седемдесет и двама души.

20 А останалите от Израиля, свещениците и левитите, бяха по всичките Юдови градове, всеки в наследството си.

21 А нетинимите се заселиха в Офил; а Сиха и Гесфа бяха над нетинимите.

22 А надзирател над левитите в Ерусалим бе Озий син на Вания, син на Асавия, син на Матания, син на Михея, от Асафовите потомци, певците, над работата на Божия дом.

23 Защото имаше царска заповед за тях, и определен дял за певците според нуждата на всеки ден.

24 А Петаия, син на Месизавеила, от потомците на Юдовия син Зара, беше помощник на царя във всички що се касаеше до людете.

25 А колкото за селата с нивите им, някои от юдеите се заселиха в Кириат-арва и селата й, в Девон и селата му, и в Кавсеил и селата му,

26 и в Иисуя, Молада, Вет-фелет,

27 Асар-суал, Вирсавее и селата му,

28 в Сиклаг, Мекона и селата му,

29 в Ен-римон, Сарая, Ярмут,

30 Заноя, Одолам и селата им, в Лахис и полетата му, и в Азика и селата му. Така се заселиха от Вирсавее до Еномовата долина.

31 А вениаминците се заселиха от Гава нататък, в Михмас, Гаия, Ветил и селата му,

32 в Анатон, Ноб, Анания,

33 Асора, Рама, Гатаим,

34 Адид, Севоим, Невалат,

35 Лод, Оно и в долината на дърводелците.

36 А някои отреди от левитите се заселиха в Юда и във Вениамин.

Inhabitants of Jerusalem

11 The leaders of the people lived in Jerusalem. The rest of the people cast lots to bring one out of ten to live in the holy city of Jerusalem, while the remaining nine stayed in the other towns. The people blessed those who agreed to live in Jerusalem.

These are the leaders of the province who lived in Jerusalem; while the Israelites, the priests, the Levites, the temple servants, and the descendants of Solomon’s servants lived in the towns of Judah on their own property in their towns. Some of the descendants of Judah and Benjamin settled in Jerusalem.

From the family of Judah: Athaiah son of Uzziah son of Zechariah son of Amariah son of Shephatiah son of Mahalalel of the family of Perez; and Maaseiah son of Baruch son of Col-hozeh son of Hazaiah son of Adaiah son of Joiarib son of Zechariah son of the Shilonite. All of the family of Perez who lived in Jerusalem totaled 468 courageous people.

From the family of Benjamin: Sallu son of Meshullam son of Joed son of Pedaiah son of Kolaiah son of Maaseiah son of Ithiel son of Jeshaiah. And after him were Gabbai and Sallai: 928. Joel son of Zichri was their supervisor, and Judah son of Hassenuah was second in charge of the city.

10 Of the priests: Jedaiah son of Joiarib, Jachin, 11 Seraiah son of Hilkiah son of Meshullam son of Zadok son of Meraioth son of Ahitub the officer of God’s house, 12 and their associates who carried out the work in the temple:[a] 822. There was also Adaiah son of Jeroham son of Pelaliah son of Amzi son of Zechariah son of Pashhur son of Malchijah, 13 and his associates, heads of families: 242. There was also Amashsai son of Azarel son of Ahzai son of Meshillemoth son of Immer 14 and their associates, for a total of 128 courageous people. Their supervisor was Zabdiel, Haggedolim’s son.

15 Of the Levites: Shemaiah son of Hasshub son of Azrikam son of Hashabiah son of Bunni; 16 as well as Shabbethai and Jozabad, who were some of the leaders of the Levites in charge of the outside work on God’s house; 17 also Mattaniah son of Mica son of Zabdi son of Asaph the leader who began the thanksgiving with prayer, and Bakbukiah, who was the second among his associates; and Abda son of Shammua son of Galal son of Jeduthun. 18 All the Levites in the holy city totaled 284. 19 The gatekeepers: Akkub, Talmon, and their associates who guarded the gates totaled 172. 20 The rest of Israel, the priests, and the Levites were in all the towns of Judah, each of them in their own property. 21 But the temple servants lived in Ophel, with Ziha and Gishpa in charge of them. 22 The supervisor of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi son of Bani son of Hashabiah son of Mattaniah son of Mica, from the family of Asaph, who were the singers in charge of the work of God’s house.

23 There was a command from the king setting out the daily requirements of the singers.

24 Advising the king in all matters concerning the people was Pethahiah, Meshezabel’s son, from the family of Zerah, Judah’s son.

25 As for the villages with their fields, some of the people of Judah lived in Kiriath-arba and its villages, in Dibon and its villages, in Jekabzeel and its villages, 26 in Jeshua, in Moladah and Beth-pelet, 27 in Hazar-shual, in Beer-sheba and its villages, 28 in Ziklag, in Meconah and its villages, 29 in En-rimmon, Zorah, Jarmuth, 30 Zanoah, Adullam, and their villages, Lachish and its fields, and Azekah and its villages. So they settled from Beer-sheba to the Hinnom Valley.

31 The people of Benjamin also lived from beyond Geba, at Michmash, Aija, Bethel and its villages, 32 Anathoth, Nob, Ananiah, 33 Hazor, Ramah, Gittaim, 34 Hadid, Zeboim, Neballat, 35 Lod, and Ono, the valley of artisans. 36 Some divisions of the Levites in Judah were joined to Benjamin.
