8 Now these are the heads of their fathers’ houses, and this is the genealogy of those who went up with me from Babylon in the reign of Artaxerxes the king: 2 Of the sons of Phinehas, Gershom. Of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel. Of the sons of David, Hattush 3 the son of Shecaniah. Of the sons of Parosh, Zechariah, and with him were reckoned by genealogy a hundred and fifty men. 4 Of the sons of Pahath-moab, Eliehoenai the son of Zerahiah, and with him two hundred men. 5 Of the sons of Shecaniah, the son of Jahaziel, and with him three hundred men. 6 And of the sons of Adin, Ebed the son of Jonathan, and with him fifty men. 7 And of the sons of Elam, Jeshaiah the son of Athaliah, and with him eighty men. 9 Of the sons of Joab, Obadiah the son of Jehiel, and with him two hundred and eighteen men. 10 And of the sons of Banias, Shelomith the son of Jesiphiah, and with him a hundred and sixty men. 11 And of the sons of Babai, Zechariah the son of Babai, and with him twenty-eight men. 12 And of the sons of Azgad, Johanan the son of Hakkatan, and with him a hundred and ten men. 13 And the sons of Adonikam, the last, and these are their names: Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah, and with them sixty men. 14 And of the sons of Bigyai, Uthai and Zakkur, and with them seventy men.
15 And I gathered them together to the river that flows toward Ahava. And there we encamped there none of the sons of Levi. 16 Then I sent for Eliezer, Ariel, Shamaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and Elnathan, who were teachers. 17 And I sent them out to Iddo, the chief of the place Casiphia. And I instructed them what they should say to Iddo and his kinsmen at the place Casiphia, namely, that they should bring to us ministers for the house of our God. 18 And since the good hand of our God was with us, they brought us a man of discretion, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel: Sherebiah, with his sons and his kinsmen, eighteen; 19 and Hashabiah and Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, their kinsmen and their sons, twenty; 20 and of the temple servants, whom David and the princes had given for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty; all of them were mentioned by name.
21 Then I proclaimed a fast there at the River Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God to seek of him a fortunate journey for us and for our little ones and for all our possessions. 22 For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to protect us against the enemy on the journey, because we had spoken to the king, saying, ’The hand of our God is with all who seek him for good, but his power and his wrath is against all them who forsake him.’ 23 So we fasted and besought our God for this, and he was entreated by us.
24 Then I set apart twelve of the chiefs of the priests, and Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their clansmen with them, 25 and weighed to them the silver and the gold and the vessels, even the offering for the house of our God, which the king and his counsellors and his princes and all Israel there present had offered. 26 I weighed into their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels, a hundred talents, of gold a hundred talents; 27 and twenty bowls of gold of a thousand darics; and ten vessels of fine bright brass, precious as gold. 28 And said to them, You are holy to Jehovah, and the vessels are holy, and the silver and the gold are a contribution to Jehovah, the God of our fathers. 29 Guard and keep them until you weigh them before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites and the head of the fathers’ houses of Israel at Jerusalem in the chamber of the temple of Jehovah. 30 So the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver and gold and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God. 31 Then we departed from the River Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month to go to Jerusalem.
And the hand of our God was upon us and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy and the lier-in-wait by the way. 32 And when we arrived at Jerusalem, we remained there three days. 33 And on the fourth day the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God into the hands of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them was Jozabad the son of Jeshua and Noadiah the son of Binnui, the Levites. 34 The whole was delivered by number and by weight, and the weight of everything was recorded.
At that time 35 the people who had returned from exile offered burnt-offering to the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering; all this was a burnt-offering to Jehovah. 36 And they delivered the king’s commissions to the king’s satraps and to the governors of the province beyond the River. And the aided the people and the house of God.
