and

were
recorded
chief
of
the
fathers:

priests,

the
reign

23
The
sons
of
Levi,
the
chief
of

fathers,
were
written
in
the
book
of
the
chronicles,
even

24
And
the

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.
25
Mattaniah,
and
Bakbukiah,
Obadiah,
Meshullam,
Talmon,
Akkub,
were
porters
keeping
the
ward
at
the
thresholds
of
the
gates.
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.
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.
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;
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.
30
And
the
priests
and
the
Levites
purified
themselves,
and
purified
the
people,
and
the
gates,
and
the
wall.
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:
32
And
after
them
went
Hoshaiah,
and
half
of
the
princes
of
Judah,
33
And
Azariah,
Ezra,
and
Meshullam,
34
Judah,
and
Benjamin,
and
Shemaiah,
and
Jeremiah,
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:
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.
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.
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;
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.
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:
41
And
the
priests;
Eliakim,
Maaseiah,
Miniamin,
Michaiah,
Elioenai,
Zechariah,
and
Hananiah,
with
trumpets;
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.
43
Also
that
day
they
offered
great
sacrifices,
and
rejoiced:
for
God
had
made
them
rejoice
with
great
joy:
the
wives
also
and
the
children
rejoiced:
so
that
the
joy
of
Jerusalem
was
heard
even
afar
off.
44
And
at
that
time
were
some
appointed
over
the
chambers
for
the
treasures,
for
the
offerings,
for
the
firstfruits,
and
for
the
tithes,
to
gather
into
them
out
of
the
fields
of
the
cities
the
portions
of
the
law
for
the
priests
and
Levites:
for
Judah
rejoiced
for
the
priests
and
for
the
Levites
that
waited.
45
And
both
the
singers
and
the
porters
kept
the
ward
of
their
God,
and
the
ward
of
the
purification,
according
to
the
commandment
of
David,
and
of
Solomon
his
son.
46
For
in
the
days
of
David
and
Asaph
of
old
there
were
chief
of
the
singers,
and
songs
of
praise
and
thanksgiving
unto
God.
47
And
all
Israel
in
the
days
of
Zerubbabel,
and
in
the
days
of
Nehemiah,
gave
the
portions
of
the
singers
and
the
porters,
every
day
his
portion:
and
they
sanctified
holy
things
unto
the
Levites;
and
the
Levites
sanctified
them
unto
the
children
of
Aaron.
