* Now the leaders of the people dwelt at Jerusalem ; the rest of the people cast lots to bring one out of ten to dwell in Jerusalem , the holy city , and nine-tenths were to dwell in other cities . * And the people blessed all the men who willingly offered themselves to dwell at Jerusalem . * These are the heads of the province who dwelt in Jerusalem . (But in the cities of Judah everyone dwelt in his own possession in their cities--Israelites , priests , Levites , Nethinim , and descendants of Solomon 's servants .) * Also in Jerusalem dwelt some of the children of Judah and of the children of Benjamin .
