1And the rulers of the people dwelt at Jerusalem: the rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts to dwell in other cities.β2And the people blessed all the men, that willingly offered themselves to dwell at Jerusalem.β3Now these are the chief of the province that dwelt in Jerusalem: but in the cities of Judah dwelt every one in his possession in their cities, to wit, Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the Nethinims, and the children of Solomon's servants.β4And at Jerusalem dwelt certain of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin.
