Uthai, a descendant of Perez, resettled in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile.
Uthai, son of Ammihud and descendant of Perez from the tribe of Judah, was one of the first returnees from Babylonian captivity to resettle in Jerusalem following Zerubbabel's expedition (1 Chronicles 9:4). He is listed at the head of the Judahite families who took up residence in the holy city. A second Uthai appears in Ezra 8:14 among those who accompanied Ezra from Babylon, leading a group of seventy males from the sons of Bigvai.
