Bible. Nehemiah
16:012:031 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:
16:012:032 And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of
Judah,
16:012:033 And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
16:012:034 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,
16:012:035 And certain of the priests' sons with trumpets; namely,
Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of
Mattaniah, the son of Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of
Asaph:
16:012:036 And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai,
Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical
instruments of David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe
before them.
16:012:037 And at the fountain gate, 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.
16:012:038 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;
16:012:039 And from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate,
and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the
tower of Meah, even unto the sheep gate: and they stood still
in the prison gate.
16:012:040 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:
16:012:041 And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah,
Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;
16:012:042 And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and
Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers
sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.
16:012:043 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.
16:012:044 And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the
treasures, for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the
tithes, 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.
16:012:045 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.
