And in Jerusalem there were living some of the sons of Judah, and of Benjamin, and of Ephraim and Manasseh;
4
Uthai, the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the sons of Perez, the son of Judah.
5
And of the Shilonites: Asaiah the oldest, and his sons.
6
And of the sons of Zerah: Jeuel, and their brothers, six hundred and ninety.
7
And of the sons of Benjamin: Sallu, the son of Meshullam, Judah, the son of Hassenuah,
8
And Ibneiah, the son of Jeroham, and Elah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Michri, and Meshullam, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah;
9
And their brothers, in the list of their generations, nine hundred and fifty-six. All these men were heads of families, listed by the names of their fathers.
