And at Jerusalem dwelt [certain] of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin. Of the children of Judah; Athaiah the son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalaleel, of the children of Perez;
Nehemiah 11:4 — KJV
At Jerusalem dwelt. Not that all the inhabitants of Jerusalem were of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin only; there were many Levites (vs. 10-19), probably also Manassites and Ephraimites (Chron. 9:3), and also the Nethinims (Neh. 11:21), who did not belong to any tribe. There may also have been representatives of other tribes. However, men of Judah and Benjamin seem to have constituted the majority of the population, and therefore they alone are mentioned. A parallel list of the inhabitants of Jerusalem is found in 1 Chron. 9, which may be based on a somewhat later census, since all numbers are higher than in Neh. 11.
Athaiah. In 1 Chron. 9:4 the name is given as Uthai. The ancestors assigned to Athaiah here and in 1 Chron. 9 are different, with the exception of Pharez (Perez), the son of Judah. But each list is probably an abbreviation of a far longer one, and the two writers have not in all cases selected the same names for their genealogies.
