15:008:005 Of the sons of Shechaniah; the son of Jahaziel,
and with him
three
hundred males.
15:008:006 Of the sons also of Adin; Ebed the son
of Jonathan, and with
him
fifty males.
15:008:007 And of the sons of Elam; Jeshaiah the son
of Athaliah, and
with
him seventy males.
15:008:008 And of the sons of Shephatiah; Zebadiah
the son of Michael,
and
with him fourscore males.
15:008:009 Of the sons of Joab; Obadiah the son of
Jehiel, and with him
two
hundred and eighteen males.
15:008:010 And of the sons of Shelomith; the son of
Josiphiah, and with
him
an hundred and threescore males.
15:008:011 And of the sons of Bebai; Zechariah the
son of Bebai, and with
him
twenty and eight males.
15:008:012 And of the sons of Azgad; Johanan the son
of Hakkatan, and
with

15:008:013 And of the last sons of Adonikam, whose

males.
15:008:014 Of the sons also of Bigvai; Uthai, and
Zabbud, and with them
seventy
males.
15:008:015 And I gathered them together to the river
that runneth to
Ahava;
and there abode we in tents three days: and I
viewed
the
people, and the priests, and found there none of the
sons
of
Levi.
15:008:016 Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for
Shemaiah, and for
Elnathan,
and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and
for
Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib,
and
for Elnathan, men of understanding.
15:008:017 And I sent them with commandment unto Iddo
the chief at the
place
Casiphia, and I told them what they should say unto
Iddo,
and to his brethren the Nethinims, at the place
Casiphia,
that they should bring unto us ministers for the
house
of our God.
15:008:018 And by the good hand of our God upon us
they brought us a man
of
understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi,
the
son
of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren,
eighteen;
15:008:019 And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of
the sons of Merari,
his
brethren and their sons, twenty;
15:008:020 Also of the Nethinims, whom David and the
princes had
appointed
for the service of the Levites, two hundred and
twenty
Nethinims: all of them were expressed by name.
15:008:021 Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the
river of Ahava, that we
might
afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a
right
way
for us, and for our little ones, and for all our
substance.
