NE-12:2 Amariah, Malluch, Hattush,
NE-12:3 Shechaniah, Rehum, Meremoth,
NE-12:4 Iddo, Ginnetho, Abijah,
NE-12:5 Miamin, Maadiah, Bilgah,
NE-12:6 Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah,

of the priests
and of their brethren in the days of Jeshua.
NE-12:8 Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel,
Sherebiah, Judah,
[and] Mattaniah, [which was] over the thanksgiving, he and his
brethren.
NE-12:9 Also Bakbukiah and Unni, their brethren, [were] over
against them in
the watches.
NE-12:10 And Jeshua begat Joiakim, Joiakim also begat Eliashib,
and Eliashib
begat Joiada,
NE-12:11 And Joiada begat Jonathan, and Jonathan begat Jaddua.
NE-12:12 And in the days of Joiakim were priests, the chief of
the fathers:
of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;
NE-12:13 Of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan;
NE-12:14 Of Melicu, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph;
NE-12:15 Of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai;
NE-12:16 Of Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam;
NE-12:17 Of Abijah, Zichri; of Miniamin, of Moadiah, Piltai;
NE-12:18 Of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemaiah, Jehonathan;
NE-12:19 And of Joiarib, Mattenai; of Jedaiah, Uzzi;
NE-12:20 Of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber;
NE-12:21 Of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; of Jedaiah, Nethaneel.
NE-12:22 The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and
Johanan, and
Jaddua, [were] recorded chief of the fathers: also the priests,
to the reign
of Darius the Persian.
NE-12:23 The sons of Levi, the chief of the fathers, [were]
written in the
book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son
of Eliashib.
NE-12:24 And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah,
and Jeshua the
son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise
[and] to give
thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God,
ward over
against ward.
NE-12:25 Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon,
Akkub, [were]
porters keeping the ward at the thresholds of the gates.
NE-12:26 These [were] in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua,
the son of
Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra
the priest, the
scribe.
NE-12:27 And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they
sought the
Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to
keep the
dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with
singing, [with]
cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.
NE-12:28 And the sons of the singers gathered themselves
together, both out
of the plain country round about Jerusalem, and from the
villages of
Netophathi;
NE-12:29 Also from the house of Gilgal, and out of the fields
of Geba and
Azmaveth: for the singers had builded them villages round about
Jerusalem.
NE-12:30 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves,
and purified
the people, and the gates, and the wall.
NE-12:31 Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall,
and appointed
two great [companies of them that gave] thanks, [whereof one]
went on the
right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate:
NE-12:32 And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes
of Judah,
NE-12:33 And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
NE-12:34 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,
NE-12:35 And [certain] of the priests' sons with trumpets;
[namely],
Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of
Mattaniah, the
son of Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph:
NE-12:36 And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai,
Gilalai, Maai,
Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of
David the man of
God, and Ezra the scribe before them.
NE-12:37 And at the fountain gate, which was over against them,
they went up
by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall,
above the
house of David, even unto the water gate eastward.
NE-12:38 And the other [company of them that gave] thanks went
over against
[them], and I after them, and the half of the people upon the
wall, from
beyond the tower of the furnaces even unto the broad wall;
NE-12:39 And from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old
gate, and
above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of
Meah, even
unto the sheep gate: and they stood still in the prison gate.
NE-12:40 So stood the two [companies of them that gave] thanks
in the house
of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me:
NE-12:41 And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah,
Elioenai,
Zechariah, [and] Hananiah, with trumpets;
NE-12:42 And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and
Jehohanan,
and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud,
with Jezrahiah
[their] overseer.
NE-12:43 Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and
rejoiced: for God
