11 Now the leaders of the people stayed in Jerusalem,z and the rest of the people cast lotsaa for one out of ten to come and live in Jerusalem, the holy city,ab while the other nine-tenths remained in their towns.ac 2 The people blessed all the men who volunteeredad to live in Jerusalem.
3 These are the heads of the province who stayed in Jerusalemae (but in the villages of Judah each lived on his own property in their townsaf—the Israelites, priests, Levites, temple servants, and descendants of Solomon’s servantsag—4 while some of the descendants of Judah and Benjamin settled in Jerusalem):
Judah’sa descendants:

Jedaiah son of Joiarib, Jachin, and 11 Seraiah son of Hilkiah, son of Meshullam, son of Zadok, son of Meraioth, son of Ahitub, the chief official of God’s temple, 12 and their relatives who did the work at the temple: 822.

Akkub, Talmon, and their relatives, who guarded the city gates: 172.
20 The rest of Israel, the priests, and the Levites were in all the villages of Judah, each on his own inherited property.e 21 The temple servants lived on Ophel;f Ziha and Gishpa supervised the temple servants.
22 The leader of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi son of Bani, son of Hashabiah, son of Mattaniah, son of Mica, of the descendants of Asaph, who were singers for the service of God’s house. 23 There was, in fact, a command of the king regarding them, and an ordinance regulating the singers’g daily tasks. 24 Pethahiah son of Meshezabel, of the descendants of Zerahh son of Judah, was the king’si agentB in every matter concerning the people.
25 As for the farming settlements with their fields:
Some of Judah’s descendants lived in Kiriath-arbaj
and Dibon and their surrounding villages,k and Jekabzeel and its settlements;
26 in Jeshua, Moladah,l Beth-pelet,
27 Hazar-shual, and Beer-shebam and its surrounding villages;
28 in Ziklagn and Meconah and its surrounding villages;
29 in En-rimmon, Zorah,o Jarmuth,p and
30 Zanoahq and Adullam with their settlements;
in Lachishr with its fields and Azekahs and its surrounding villages.
So they settled from Beer-shebat to Hinnom Valley.u

and Bethelx and its surrounding villages,
33 Hazor,aa Ramah,ab Gittaim,ac
34 Hadid, Zeboim,ad Neballat,
35 Lod, and Ono,ae in Craftsmen’s Valley.

About Christian Standard BibleThe Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible. |
