(SEE 23:24)

Salma, the founder of Bethlehem, was the ancestor of the people of Netophath, of Atroth Beth Joab, and of the Zorites, who were one of the two clans in Manahath.

People whose ancestors had lived in the following towns also returned: Bethlehem and Netophah - 188; Anathoth - 128; Beth Azmaveth - 42; Kiriath Jearim, Chephirah, and Beeroth - 743; Ramah and Geba - 621; Michmash - 122; Bethel and Ai - 123; The other Nebo - 52; The other Elam - 1,254; Harim - 320; Jericho - 345; Lod, Hadid, and Ono - 721; Senaah - 3,930

So Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan son of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth, the sons of Ephai from Netophah, and Jezaniah from Maacah went with their men to Gedaliah at Mizpah.
