Los jefes del pueblo habitaron en Jerusalén^a, pero el resto del pueblo echó suertes^b a fin de traer uno de cada diez para que habitara en Jerusalén, la ciudad santa^c, mientras los otros nueve se quedarían en las otras ciudades. 2 Y bendijo el pueblo a todos los hombres que se ofrecieron para habitar en Jerusalén^a.

22 El superintendente^a de los levitas en Jerusalén era Uzi, hijo de Bani, hijo de Hasabías, hijo de Matanías, hijo de Micaía, de los hijos de Asaf, cantores para el servicio¹ de la casa de Dios; 23 porque había un mandato del rey acerca de ellos^a y un reglamento fijo para los cantores de cada día^b. 24 Y Petaías, hijo de Mesezabeel, de los hijos de Zera^a, hijo de Judá, era representante¹ del rey^b en todos los asuntos del pueblo.
