Joshua 15:63

15:63 The men of Judah were unable to conquer the Jebusites living in Jerusalem. ¹  The Jebusites live with the people of Judah in Jerusalem to this very day. ² 

Joshua 18:28

18:28 Zelah, Haeleph, the Jebusite city ³  (that is, Jerusalem), ⁴  Gibeah, and Kiriath – a total of fourteen cities and their towns. ⁵  This was the land assigned to the tribe of Benjamin ⁶  by its clans.

Jude 1:21

1:21 maintain ⁷  yourselves in the love of God, while anticipating ⁸  the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that brings eternal life. ⁹ 

Nehemiah 11:1

The Population of Jerusalem

11:1 So the leaders of the people settled in Jerusalem, ¹⁰  while the rest of the people cast lots to bring one out of every ten to settle in Jerusalem, the holy city, while the other nine ¹¹  remained in other cities.

Nehemiah 11:7-9

11:7 These are the descendants of Benjamin:

Sallu son of Meshullam, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jeshaiah, 11:8 and his followers, ¹²  Gabbai and Sallai – 928 in all. 11:9 Joel son of Zicri was the officer in charge of them, and Judah son of Hassenuah was second-in-command over the city.

² sn The statement to this very day reflects the perspective of the author, who must have written prior to David’s conquest of the Jebusites (see 2 Sam 5:6-7).

³ tn The word “city” is supplied in the translation for clarification.

⁵ tn The structure of this list presents problems. In v. 28 no conjunction appears before “Haeleph” or “Kiriath” in the Hebrew text. This suggests they should be compounded with the preceding names, yielding “Zelah Haeleph” and “Gibeah Kiriath” respectively. This results in a list of only twelve cities, however, while the summary statement (v. 28) gives the number fourteen. One should note, however, that the city lists in chap. 15 do not consistently use the conjunction before the name of each city. See also Josh 19:7, where no conjunction appears before “Rimmon,” but the summary assumes that Ain and Rimmon are distinct.

⁷ tn Or “keep.”

¹¹ tn Heb “nine of the hands.” The word “hand” is used here in the sense or a part or portion.

¹² tn Heb “those behind him.” Some scholars emend the text to וְאֶחָיו (vÿ’ekhayv, “his brothers”).
