5. God inspired me to assemble the people and their leaders and officials and to check their family records. I located the records of those who had first returned from captivity, and this is the information I found:
6. Many of the exiles left the province of Babylon and returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own city. Their families had been living in exile in Babylonia ever since King Nebuchadnezzar had taken them there as prisoners.
57-59. Clans of Solomon's servants who returned from exile:Sotai, Sophereth, Perida,Jaalah, Darkon, Giddel,Shephatiah, Hattil, Pochereth Hazzebaim, and Amon.
60. The total number of descendants of the temple workmen and of Solomon's servants who returned from exile was 392.
61-62. There were 642 belonging to the clans of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda who returned from the towns of Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer; but they could not prove that they were descendants of Israelites.
