Exiles Who Resettled in Jerusalem

The people of Judah ¹  were carried away to Babylon because of their unfaithfulness. 9:2 The first to resettle on their property and in their cities were some Israelites, priests, Levites, and temple servants. ²  9:3 Some from the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim and Manasseh settled in Jerusalem. ³ 

9:4 The settlers included: ⁴  Uthai son of Ammihud, son of Omri, son of Imri, son of Bani, who was a descendant of Perez son of Judah.

[9:1]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text has simply “Judah,” though the verb הָגְלוּ (hoglu, “carried away”) is plural.

[9:2]  ² tn Heb “and the inhabitants, the first who [were] in their property in their cities, Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the temple servants.”
