1Nailista ang lahat ng Israelita sa talaan ng mga lahi sa Aklat ng Kasaysayan ng mga hari ng Israel. Ang mga mamamayan ng Juda ay binihag sa Babilonia dahil hindi sila naging tapat sa Panginoon. 2Ang unang nakabalik sa kanilang mga bayan sa sariling lupain ay ang mga ordinaryong Israelita, mga pari, mga Levita, at mga utusan sa templo.9:2 templo: sa Hebreo, tolda.
3Ito ang mga lahi nina Juda, Benjamin, Efraim at Manase na nakabalik at tumira sa Jerusalem:

9Silang lahat ang pinuno ng kanilang mga pamilya. Mula sa lahi ni Benjamin, ang lahat ng nakabalik na lalaki ay 956 ayon sa talaan ng kanilang mga lahi.
10Sa mga pari: si Jedaya, si Jehoyarib, si Jakin, 11si Azaria na pinakamataas na opisyal sa templo ng Dios (anak siya ni Hilkia; si Hilkia ay anak ni Meshulam; si Meshulam ay anak ni Zadok; si Zadok ay anak ni Merayot; si Merayot ay anak ni Ahitub), 12si Adaya na anak ni Jeroham (si Jeroham ay anak ni Pashur; si Pashur ay anak ni Malkia), at si Maasai na anak ni Adiel (si Adiel ay anak ni Jazera; si Jezera ay anak ni Meshulam; si Meshulam ay anak ni Meshilemit; si Meshilemit ay anak ni Imer).

Si Shalum ang pinuno nila.
18Hanggang ngayon, sila pa rin ang guwardya ng Pintuan ng Hari sa bandang silangan ng lungsod. Sila noon ang mga guwardya ng pintuang papasok sa kampo ng mga Levita.

20Si Finehas na anak ni Eleazar ang namamahala noon sa mga guwardya ng pintuan, at sinamahan siya ng Panginoon.

Ang nagbigay ng tungkulin sa kanilang mga ninuno bilang mga guwardya ng pintuan (dahil maaasahan sila) ay sina David at Propeta Samuel. 23Sila at ang kanilang mga angkan ang pinagkakatiwalaang magbantay sa mga pintuan ng bahay ng Panginoon – na tinatawag ding Tolda. 24Nagbabantay sila sa apat na sulok: sa silangan, kanluran, hilaga at timog. 25Kung minsan ang mga kamag-anak nilang nakatira sa mga bayan ang pumapalit sa kanila na magbantay sa loob ng pitong araw. 26Pero ang apat na pinuno ng mga guwardya ng pintuan, na mula sa mga Levita, ang siyang responsable sa mga kwarto at mga bodega ng templo. 27Nagpupuyat sila sa pagbabantay sa paligid ng templo dahil kailangan nila itong bantayan at sila ang tagabukas ng pinto tuwing umaga.
28Ang iba sa kanilaʼy pinagkatiwalaan sa pag-aasikaso ng mga gamit sa pagsamba. Binibilang nila ito bago at pagkatapos gamitin. 29Ang ibaʼy pinagkatiwalaan sa pag-aasikaso ng iba pang mga gamit sa templo gaya ng harina, katas ng ubas, langis, insenso at mga pampalasa. 30Ngunit katungkulan ng mga pari ang pagtitimpla ng mga pampalasa. 31Si Matitia na Levita, at panganay na anak ni Shalum na mula sa angkan ni Kora, ang pinagkatiwalaan sa pagluluto ng tinapay para ihandog. 32Ang ibang angkan ni Kohat ang pinagkatiwalaan sa paghahanda at paglalagay ng mga tinapay sa mesa tuwing Araw ng Pamamahinga. 33Ang mga musikero sa templo na mga pinuno rin ng mga pamilyang Levita ay doon na rin tumira sa mga silid sa templo. At wala na silang iba pang gawain, dahil ginagawa nila ito araw at gabi. 34Silang lahat ang pinuno ng mga pamilyang Levita, nailista sila sa talaan ng kanilang lahi. Tumira sila sa Jerusalem.
