These are now the chief of their fathers, and this is the genealogy of them that went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king. ²Of the sons of ^aPhinehas; Gershom: of the sons of ^aIthamar; ^bDaniel: of the sons of David; ^cHattush. ³Of the sons of ^dShechaniah, of the sons of ^ePharosh; Zechariah: and with him were reckoned by genealogy of the males an hundred and fifty. ⁴Of the sons of ^fPahath-moab; Elihoenai the son of Zerahiah, and with him two hundred males. ⁵Of the sons of ^dShechaniah; the son of Jahaziel, and with him three hundred males. ⁶Of the sons also of ^ffAdin; Ebed the son of Jonathan, and with him fifty males. ⁷And of the sons of ^gElam; Jeshaiah the son of Athaliah, and with him seventy males. ⁸And of the sons of ^hShephatiah; Zebadiah the son of Michael, and with him fourscore males. ⁹Of the sons of ⁱJoab; Obadiah the son of Jehiel, and with him two hundred and eighteen males. ¹⁰And of the sons of Shelomith; the son of Josiphiah, and with him an hundred and threescore males. ¹¹And of the sons of ^kBebai; Zechariah the son of Bebai, and with him twenty and eight males. ¹²And of the sons of ^kAzgad; Johanan the son of Hakkatan, and with him an hundred and ten males. ¹³And of the last sons of ^lAdonikam, whose names are these, Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them threescore males. ¹⁴Of the sons also of ^mBigvai; Uthai, and Zabbud, and with them seventy males.

¹⁵And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to ⁿAhava; and there abode we in tents three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the ^osons of Levi. ¹⁶Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for ^pZechariah, and for ^qMeshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, men of understanding. ¹⁷And 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. ¹⁸And ^rby the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of ^sMahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and ^tSherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen; ¹⁹and ^uHashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of ^vMerari, his brethren and their sons, twenty; ²⁰also of the ^wNethinims, whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinims: all of them ^xwere expressed by name.
