Rashi, on Neh 11:1

“And the princes of the people dwelt at Jerusalem: but the rest of the people cast lots, to take one part in ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts in the other cities.”

“one of ten of Israel, so that they should dwell in Jerusalem to guard the city. and nine parts nine parts of Israel.”
