A Genealogy of the Returned Exiles

1 So all Israel was recorded in genealogies, and these are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel. And 1Judah was taken into exile in Babylon because of their breach of faith.
2 2Now the first to 3dwell again in their possessions in their cities were Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the 4temple servants.
3 And some of the people of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh lived in Jerusalem:
4 Uthai the son of Ammihud, son of Omri, son of Imri, son of Bani, from the sons of 5Perez the son of Judah.
5 And of the Shilonites: Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons.
6 Of the sons of Zerah: Jeuel and their kinsmen, 690.
