The discrepancy between the numbers here and in Nehemiah Nehemiah 11:8 may arise from corruption. So in 1-Chronicles 9:13, 1-Chronicles 9:22.

And their brethren, according to their generations, nine hundred amd fifty and six,.... Which was the number of the Benjaminites there resident put together, and which greatly exceeded that of Judah, 1-Chronicles 9:6.
all these men were chief of the fathers, in the house of their fathers; principal men in the families of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, even all the seven before mentioned.

And fifty - six - They are reckoned but nine hundred and twenty - eight in Nehemiah 11:8, either because there he mentions only those that were by lot determined to dwell at Jerusalem, to whom he here adds those who freely offered themselves to it; or because some of the persons first placed there were dead, or removed from Jerusalem upon some emergent occasion.
