012:011 and Joiada became the father of Jonathan, and Jonathan became

012:022 As for the Levites, in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan,
and Jaddua, there were recorded the heads of fathers' [houses];
also the priests, in the reign of Darius the Persian.
012:023 The sons of Levi, heads of fathers' [houses], were written
in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan
the son of Eliashib.
012:024 The chiefs of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua
the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers over against them,
to praise and give thanks, according to the commandment
of David the man of God, watch next to watch.
012:025 Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub,
were porters keeping the watch at the storehouses of the gates.
012:026 These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua,
the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor,
and of Ezra the priest the scribe.
012:027 At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought
the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem,
to keep the dedication with gladness, both with giving thanks,
and with singing, with cymbals, stringed instruments,
and with harps.
012:028 The sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out
of the plain round about Jerusalem, and from the villages
of the Netophathites;
012:029 also from Beth Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth:
for the singers had built them villages round about Jerusalem.
012:030 The priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they
purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
012:031 Then I brought up the princes of Judah on the wall, and appointed
two great companies who gave thanks and went in procession.
[One went] on the right hand on the wall toward the dung gate;
012:032 and after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah,
012:033 and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
012:034 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,
012:035 and certain of the priests' sons with trumpets:
