Yosua 18:28

18:28 Zelah, Haeleph, the Jebusite city ³  (that is, Jerusalem), ⁴  Gibeah, and Kiriath – a total of fourteen cities and their towns. ⁵  This was the land assigned to the tribe of Benjamin ⁶  by its clans.

The Population of Jerusalem

11:1 So the leaders of the people settled in Jerusalem, ¹⁰  while the rest of the people cast lots to bring one out of every ten to settle in Jerusalem, the holy city, while the other nine ¹¹  remained in other cities.

Nehemia 11:7-9

11:7 These are the descendants of Benjamin:

Sallu son of Meshullam, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jeshaiah, 11:8 and his followers, ¹²  Gabbai and Sallai – 928 in all. 11:9 Joel son of Zicri was the officer in charge of them, and Judah son of Hassenuah was second-in-command over the city.

[18:28]  ⁵ tn The structure of this list presents problems. In v. 28 no conjunction appears before “Haeleph” or “Kiriath” in the Hebrew text. This suggests they should be compounded with the preceding names, yielding “Zelah Haeleph” and “Gibeah Kiriath” respectively. This results in a list of only twelve cities, however, while the summary statement (v. 28) gives the number fourteen. One should note, however, that the city lists in chap. 15 do not consistently use the conjunction before the name of each city. See also Josh 19:7, where no conjunction appears before “Rimmon,” but the summary assumes that Ain and Rimmon are distinct.
