SCRIPTURE

"These were heads of fathers` [houses] throughout their generations, chief men: these dwelt in Jerusalem." — 1 Chronicles 8:28 (ASV)

These dwelt in Jerusalem. Jerusalem was partly within the limits of the tribe of Benjamin (Joshua 18:28), but we do not hear of Benjamites inhabiting it until after the return from the captivity (1 Chronicles 9:3; Nehemiah 11:4).
