12 The following were the priests and Levites who accompanied Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Joshua; Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra, 2 Amariah, Malluch, Hattush, 3 Shecaniah, Behum, Meremoth, 4 Iddo, Ginnethoi, Abijah, 5 Mijamin, Maadiah, Bilgah, 6 Shemaiah, Joiarib, Jedaiah, 7 Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, and Jedaiah; these were the heads of the priests and their fellows in the days of Joshua. 8 The Levites were, Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah (Mattaniah had charge of the choirs, he and his fellows); 9 Bakbukiah and Unni and their fellows relieved them in their watches.
10 Joshua was the father of Joiakim, Joiakim of Eliashib, Eliashib of Joiada, 11 Joiada of Jonathan, and Jonathan of Jaddua. 12 In the days of Joiakim the following priests were heads of the guilds: Meraiah of Seraiah, Hananiah of Jeremiah, 13 Meshullam of Ezra, Jehohanan of Amariah, 14 Jonathan of Meliku, Joseph of Shebaniah, 15 Adna of Harim, Helkai of Meraioth, 16 Zechariah of Iddo, Meshullam of Ginnethon, 17 Zichri of Abijah, ... of Miniamin, Piltai of Moadiah, 18 Shammua of Bilgah, Jehonathan of Shemaiah, 19 Mattenai of Joiarib, Uzzi of Jedaiah, 20 Kallai of Sallai, Eber of Amok, 21 Hashablali of Hilkiah, and Nethanel of Jedaiah. 22 The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua were registered as heads of guilds; so were the priests during the reign of Darius the Persian. 23 The house of Levi, the heads of guilds, were entered in the record of the chronicles, down to the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib. 24 The heads of the Levites were, Hashabiab, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, who, with their fellows to relieve them, led the praise and thanksgiving, as David the man of God had ordered, responsively; 25 also Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub, who were warders in charge of the storehouses at the gates. 26 These men lived in the days of Joiakim son of Joshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor and of Ezra the priest and scribe.
27 When the wall of Jerusalem was dedicated, the Levites were sought and brought from every quarter to Jerusalem in order to hold the dedication with gladness and thanksgiving, to the music of cymbals, lutes, and lyres; 28 the musicians assembled from the plain round Jerusalem and from the villages of Netophath, 29 from Beth-gilgal, and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for the musicians had built villages round Jerusalem. 30 Then the priests and the Levites purified themselves; they also purified the people and the gates and the wall. 31 I made the authorities of Judah ascend the wall, and I arranged two large companies for the thanksgiving; the one procession went along the wall to the right, at the dung gate, 32 followed by Hoshaiah and half of the nobles of Judah, 33 by Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam, 34 Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, and Jeremiah, 35 by some of the priests with trumpets, Zechariah son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zakkur, the son of Asaph, 36 and his fellows Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani, carrying the musical instruments of David the man of God, and preceded by Ezra the scribe. 37 They marched to the fountain gate, straight in front of them, up the stairs of David’s burg, at the ascent of the wall above the house of David, to the water gate on the east. 38 The other procession marched to the left, followed by myself and the other half of the people, along the wall above the tower of the ovens as far as the broad wall, 39 then past the gate of Ephraim and the old gate and the Fish gate and the tower of Hanancl and the tower of Hammeah, as far as the sheep gate, halting at the gate of the guard. 40 Then both processions stopped at the house of God (I had with me half of the deputies, 41 the priests Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, who carried trumpets, 42 and Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer); the musicians chanted aloud, led by Jezralhah, 43 and great sacrifices were offered that day; all rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice greatly; the very women and children rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard far off.
44 On that day men were appointed to take charge of the storerooms, the offerings, the first-fruits, and the tithes, to collect, from every town and its fields, the legal provision for the priests and Levites (for Judah rejoiced in the priests and Levites who served). 45 The singers and warders also discharged the offices of their God, and the office of purification, as David and Solomon his son had commanded 46 (for in the days of David long ago Asaph was the head of the singers, and there were songs of praise and thanksgiving to God). 47 In the days of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah, all Israel used to pay the daily dues of the singers and the warders; they also set apart something for the Levites, and the Levites set apart for the Aaronites.
