* Now it happened , when the wall was built , and I had set up the doors , and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed , * that I put my brother Hanani , and Hananiah the governor of the castle , in charge of Jerusalem ; for he was a faithful man , and feared God above many . * I said to them , "Don 't let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot ; and while they stand guard , let them shut the doors , and you bar them : and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem , everyone in his watch , with everyone near his house ." * Now the city was wide and large ; but the people were few therein , and the houses were not built . * My God put into my heart to gather together the nobles , and the rulers , and the people , that they might be reckoned by genealogy . I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first , and I found written therein : * These are the children of the province , who went up out of the captivity of those who had been carried away , whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away , and who returned to Jerusalem and to Judah , everyone to his city ; * who came with Zerubbabel , Jeshua , Nehemiah , Azariah , Raamiah , Nahamani , Mordecai , Bilshan , Mispereth , Bigvai , Nehum , Baanah . The number of the men of the people of Israel : * The children of Parosh , two thousand one hundred seventy-two . * The children of Shephatiah , three hundred seventy-two . * The children of Arah , six hundred fifty-two . * The children of Pahathmoab , of the children of Jeshua and Joab , two thousand eight hundred eighteen . * The children of Elam , one thousand two hundred fifty-four . * The children of Zattu , eight hundred forty-five . * The children of Zaccai , seven hundred sixty . * The children of Binnui , six hundred forty-eight . * The children of Bebai , six hundred twenty-eight . * The children of Azgad , two thousand three hundred twenty-two . * The children of Adonikam , six hundred sixty-seven . * The children of Bigvai , two thousand sixty-seven . * The children of Adin , six hundred fifty-five . * The children of Ater , of Hezekiah , ninety-eight . * The children of Hashum , three hundred Twenty-eight . * The children of Bezai , three hundred twenty-four . * The children of Hariph , one hundred twelve . * The children of Gibeon , ninety-five . * The men of Bethlehem and Netophah , one hundred eighty-eight . * The men of Anathoth , one hundred twenty-eight . * The men of Beth Azmaveth , forty-two . * The men of Kiriath Jearim , Chephirah , and Beeroth , seven hundred forty-three . * The men of Ramah and Geba , six hundred twenty-one . * The men of Michmas , one hundred and twenty-two . * The men of Bethel and Ai , a hundred twenty-three . * The men of the other Nebo , fifty-two . * The children of the other Elam , one thousand two hundred fifty-four . * The children of Harim , three hundred twenty . * The children of Jericho , three hundred forty-five . * The children of Lod , Hadid , and Ono , seven hundred twenty-one . * The children of Senaah , three thousand nine hundred thirty . * The priests : The children of Jedaiah , of the house of Jeshua , nine hundred seventy-three . * The children of Immer , one thousand fifty-two . * The children of Pashhur , one thousand two hundred forty-seven . * The children of Harim , one thousand seventeen . * The Levites : the children of Jeshua , of Kadmiel , of the children of Hodevah , seventy-four . * The singers : the children of Asaph , one hundred forty-eight . * The porters : the children of Shallum , the children of Ater , the children of Talmon , the children of Akkub , the children of Hatita , the children of Shobai , one hundred thirty-eight . * The Nethinim : the children of Ziha , the children of Hasupha , the children of Tabbaoth , * the children of Keros , the children of Sia , the children of Padon , * the children of Lebana , the children of Hagaba , the children of Salmai , * the children of Hanan , the children of Giddel , the children of Gahar , * the children of Reaiah , the children of Rezin , the children of Nekoda , * the children of Gazzam , the children of Uzza , the children of Paseah . * The children of Besai , the children of Meunim , the children of Nephushesim , * the children of Bakbuk , the children of Hakupha , the children of Harhur , * the children of Bazlith , the children of Mehida , the children of Harsha , * the children of Barkos , the children of Sisera , the children of Temah , * the children of Neziah , the children of Hatipha . * The children of Solomon 's servants : the children of Sotai , the children of Sophereth , the children of Perida , * the children of Jaala , the children of Darkon , the children of Giddel , * the children of Shephatiah , the children of Hattil , the children of Pochereth Hazzebaim , the children of Amon . * All the Nethinim , and the children of Solomon 's servants , were three hundred ninety-two . * These were those who went up from Tel Melah , Tel Harsha , Cherub , Addon , and Immer ; but they could not show their fathers ' houses , nor their seed , whether they were of Israel : * The children of Delaiah , the children of Tobiah , the children of Nekoda , six hundred forty-two . * Of the priests : the children of Hobaiah , the children of Hakkoz , the children of Barzillai , who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite , and was called after their name . * These searched for their geneological records , but couldn 't find them . Therefore were they deemed polluted and put from the priesthood . * The governor said to them , that they should not eat of the most holy things , until there stood up a priest with Urim and Thummim . * The whole assembly together was forty-two thousand three hundred sixty , * besides their male servants and their female servants , of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty-seven : and they had two hundred forty-five singing men and singing women . * Their horses were seven hundred thirty-six ; their mules , two hundred forty-five ; * their camels , four hundred thirty-five ; their donkeys , six thousand seven hundred twenty . * Some from among the heads of fathers ' households gave to the work . The governor gave to the treasury one thousand darics of gold , fifty basins , and five hundred thirty priests ' garments . * Some of the heads of fathers ' households gave into the treasury of the work twenty thousand darics of gold , and two thousand two hundred minas of silver . * That which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand darics of gold , and two thousand minas of silver , and sixty-seven priests ' garments . * So the priests , and the Levites , and the porters , and the singers , and some of the people , and the Nethinim , and all Israel , lived in their cities . When the seventh month had come , the children of Israel were in their cities .
