these are the children of the province who went up out of the captivity, of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away and came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his city,
7
who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number, I say, of the men of the people of Israel was this:
8
the children of Parosh, two thousand a hundred seventy and two;
9
the children of Shephatiah, three hundred seventy and two;
10
the children of Arah, six hundred fifty and two;
11
the children of Pahathmoab, of the children of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand and eight hundred and eighteen;
12
the children of Elam, a thousand two hundred fifty and four;
13
the children of Zattu, eight hundred forty and five;
14
the children of Zaccai, seven hundred and threescore;
