1 Los funcionarios israelitas se quedaron viviendo en Jerusalén, la ciudad santa. En cuanto al resto del pueblo, echaron suertes para seleccionar a una de cada diez personas para que se quedaran viviendo en Jerusalén; los restantes residirían en las demás poblaciones. 2 El pueblo bendijo a todos los que se ofrecieron voluntariamente para ir a vivir a Jerusalén. 3 Los demás israelitas, los sacerdotes, los levitas, los ayudantes del templo, y los descendientes de los servidores de Salomón habitaron en sus respectivas propiedades en los diversos pueblos y ciudades de Judá. Los siguientes son los jefes de provincias que se quedaron viviendo en Jerusalén: 4 De la tribu de Judá: Ataías hijo de Uzías, hijo de Zacarías, hijo de Amarías, hijo de Sefatías, hijo de Malalel, del clan de Fares. Maseías hijo de Baruc, hijo de Coljozé, hijo de Jazaías, hijo de Adaías, hijo de Joyarib, hijo de Zacarías, hijo de Siloní.

El jefe de ellos era Zabdiel hijo de Guedolín. 15 De los levitas: Semaías hijo de Jasub, hijo de Azricán, hijo de Jasabías, hijo de Buní; Sabetay y Jozabad, que estaban a cargo de la obra en la parte exterior del templo; Matanías hijo de Micaías, hijo de Zabdí, hijo de Asaf, que dirigía los cantos de acción de gracias a la hora de la oración; Bacbuquías, que era el segundo entre sus hermanos, y Abdá hijo de Samúa, hijo de Galal, hijo de Jedutún. 18 En total había doscientos ochenta y cuatro levitas en Jerusalén. 19 Había además ciento setenta y dos porteros dirigidos por Acub, Talmón y otros de su clan. 20 Los demás sacerdotes, levitas y el resto del pueblo vivían con sus familias en las demás poblaciones de Judá, de acuerdo con la asignación que se les había hecho. 21 Los siervos del templo (cuyos jefes eran Zijá y Guispa), vivían en Ofel. 22 El supervisor de los levitas en Jerusalén era Uzi hijo de Baní, hijo de Jasabías, hijo de Matanías, hijo de Micaías, descendiente de Asaf. El clan de Asaf tenía a su cargo el canto en el templo. Fue el rey David quien estableció, por decreto, las tareas de cada día para los cantores. 24 Petaías hijo de Mesezabel, descendiente de Zera hijo de Judá, ayudaba en todo lo que se refería a la administración pública. 25 Algunas de las poblaciones donde el pueblo de Judá estableció su residencia fueron: Quiriat Arbá, Dibón, Yecabsel (además de todos los pueblos vecinos), Jesúa; Moladá, Bet Pelet, Jazar Súal, Berseba (y todos los pueblos circunvecinos), Siclag, Mecona (y los pueblos que las rodean), Enrimón, Zora, Jarmut, Zanoa, Adulán y sus pueblos; Laquis y sus tierras, y Azeca con sus pueblos. Así que el pueblo se esparció desde Berseba hasta el valle de Hinón. 31 El pueblo de la tribu de Benjamín vivió en: Gueba, Micmás, Aías, Betel (y sus pueblos), Anatot, Nob, Ananías, Jazor, Ramá, Guitayin, Jadid, Seboyín, Nebalat, Lod y Ono, y el valle de los artífices. 36 Algunos de los levitas que vivían en Judá se fueron a vivir con la tribu de Benjamín.
