Ezra 2:70

So the priests and the Levites, and some of the people, and
the singers, and the Nethinims, dwelt in their cities
Which were assigned to them out of the several tribes, and in which they or their forefathers had dwelt before the captivity:

as those of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, so of the other ten, as many as returned and joined those who were left in the land.
