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 .
*
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 .
*
And the chief of the Levites :
Hashabiah ,
Sherebiah ,
and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel Qadmiy #
el #,
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 .
*
Mattaniah ,
and Bakbukiah ,
Obadiah ,
Meshullam ,
Talmon ,
Akkub ,
were porters keeping the ward at the thresholds of the gates sha #
ar #.
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together ,
both out of the plain country round about Jerusalem ,
and from the villages of Netophathi ;
*
Also from the house of Gilgal G Beyth hag-Gllgal #,
and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth :
for the singers had builded them villages round about Jerusalem .
*
And the priests and the Levites purified themselves ,
and purified the people ,
and the gates sha #
ar #,
and the wall .
*
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 sha #
ar #:
*
And after them went Hoshaiah Howsha #
yah #,
and half of the princes of Judah ,
*
And Azariah ,
Ezra ,
and Meshullam ,
*
Judah ,
and Benjamin ,
and Shemaiah Sh @
ma #
yah #,
and Jeremiah ,
*
And certain of the priests sons with trumpets ;
namely ,
Zechariah the son of Jonathan ,
the son of Shemaiah Sh @
ma #
yah #,
the son of Mattaniah ,
the son of Michaiah ,
the son of Zaccur ,
the son of Asaph :
*
And his brethren ,
Shemaiah Sh @
ma #

and Azarael #
Azar #
el #,
Milalai ,
Gilalai ,
Maai Ma #
ai #,
Nethaneel N @
thane #
l #,
and Judah ,
Hanani ,
with the musical instruments of David the man of God ,
and Ezra the scribe before them .
*
And at the fountain gate sha #
ar #,
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 .
*
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 ;
*
And from above the gate of Ephraim ,
and above the old gate sha #
ar #,
and above the fish gate sha #
ar #,
and the tower of Hananeel Chanan #
el #,
and the tower of Meah Me #
ah #,
even unto the sheep gate sha #
ar #:
and they stood still in the prison gate sha #
ar #.
*
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 :
*
And the priests ;
Eliakim ,
Maaseiah Ma #
aseyah #,
Miniamin ,
Michaiah ,
Elioenai #
Ely @
how #
eynay #,
Zechariah ,
and Hananiah ,
with trumpets ;
*
And Maaseiah Ma #
aseyah #,
and Shemaiah Sh @
ma #
yah #,
and Eleazar #
El #
azar #,
and Uzzi ,
and Jehohanan ,
and Malchijah ,
and Elam ,
and Ezer .
And the singers sang loud ,
with Jezrahiah their overseer .
*
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 .
*
And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures ,
for the offerings ,
for the firstfruits re #
shiyth #,
and for the tithes ma #
aser #,
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 .
*
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 .
*
For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers ,
and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God .
*
And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel ,
and in the days of Nehemiah ,
gave the portions of the singers and the porters show #
er #,
every day his portion :
and they sanctified holy things unto the Levites ;
and the Levites sanctified them unto the children of Aaron .
