Quick answer
The people of Lod, Hadid, and Ono returned, numbering 721. Towns of the coastal plain were resettled.
Overview
These towns lay toward the western lowlands and would later figure in the early church's history (Acts 9:32-35). Their return shows the restored community spreading beyond the immediate area of Jerusalem. The repopulation reflects God's purpose to reestablish His people fully in the land He had given them.
