Now these
are the heads
of their fathers'
households and the genealogical enrollment
of those who went
up with me from Babylon
in the reign
of King
Artaxerxes:
2
of the sons
of Phinehas,
Gershom;
of the sons
of Ithamar,
Daniel;
of the sons
of David,
Hattush;
3
of the sons
of Shecaniah
who was
of the sons
of Parosh,
Zechariah
and with him 150
males
who were in the genealogical list;
4
of
the son
s
of Pahath-moab,
Eliehoenai
the son
of Zerahiah
and 200
males
with him;
5
of the sons
of Zattu,
Shecaniah,
the son
of Jahaziel
and 300
males
with him;
6
and of
the son
s
of Adin,
Ebed
the son
of Jonathan
and 50
males
with him;
7
and of the sons
of Elam,
Jeshaiah
the son
of Athaliah
and 70
males
with him;
8
and of
the son
s
of Shephatiah,
Zebadiah
the son
of Michael
and 80
males
with him;
9
of the sons
of Joab,
Obadiah
the son
of Jehiel
and 218
males
with him;
10
and of
the son
s
of Bani,
Shelomith,
the son
of Josiphiah
and 160
males
with him;
11
and of
the son
s
of Bebai
,
Zechariah
the son
of Bebai
and 28
males
with him;
12
and of the sons
of Azgad,
Johanan
the son
of Hakkatan
and 110
males
with him;
13
and of the sons
of Adonikam,
the last ones,
these
being their names,
Eliphelet,
Jeuel
and Shemaiah,
and 60
males
with them;
14
and of the sons
of Bigvai,
Uthai
and Zabbud,
and 70
males
with them.
15
Now I assembled
them at the river
that runs
to Ahava,
where
we camped
for three
days;
and when I observed
the people
and the priests,
I did not find
any
Levites
there.
16
So I sent
for Eliezer,
Ariel,
Shemaiah,
Elnathan,
Jarib,
Elnathan,
Nathan,
Zechariah
and Meshullam,
leading men,
and for Joiarib
and
Elnathan,
teachers.
17
I sent
them
to Iddo
the leading man
at the place
Casiphia;
and I told
them what
to say
to Iddo
and his brothers,
the temple servants
at the place
Casiphia,
that is, to bring
ministers
to us for the house
of our God.
18
According to the good
hand
of our God
upon us they brought
us a man
of insight
of the sons
of Mahli,
the son
of Levi,
the son
of Israel,
namely Sherebiah,
and his sons
and brothers,
18
men;
19
and Hashabiah
and Jeshaiah
of the sons
of Merari,
with his brothers
and their sons,
20
men;
20
and 220
of the temple
servants,
whom
David
and the princes
had given
for the service
of the Levites,
all
of them designated
by name.
21
Then I proclaimed
a fast
there
at the river
of Ahava,
that we might humble
ourselves before
our God
to seek
from Him a safe
journey
for us, our little ones,
and all
our possessions.
22
For I was ashamed
to request
from the king
troops
and horsemen
to protect
us from the enemy
on the way,
because
we had said
to the king,
"The hand
of our God
is favorably disposed
to
all
those who seek
Him, but His power
and His anger
are against
all
those who forsake
Him."
23
So we fasted
and sought
our God
concerning
this
matter, and He listened to our entreaty.
24
Then I set apart
twelve
of the leading
priests,
Sherebiah,
Hashabiah,
and with them ten
of their brothers;
25
and I weighed
out to them the silver,
the gold
and the utensils,
the offering
for the house
of our God
which the king
and his counselors
and his princes
and all
Israel
present
there had offered.
26
Thus I weighed
into their hands
650
talents
of silver,
and silver
utensils
worth 100
talents
,
and 100
gold
talents
,
27
and 20
gold
bowls
worth 1,000
darics,
and two
utensils
of fine
shiny
bronze,
precious
as
gold
.
28
Then I said
to them, "You are holy
to the LORD
,
and the utensils
are holy;
and the silver
and the gold
are a freewill offering
to the LORD
God
of your fathers.
29
"Watch
and keep
them until
you weigh
them before
the leading
priests,
the Levites
and the heads
of the fathers'
households of Israel
at Jerusalem,
in the chambers
of the house
of the LORD."
30
So the priests
and the Levites
accepted
the weighed
out silver
and gold
and the utensils,
to bring
them to Jerusalem
to the house
of our God.
31
Then we journeyed
from the river
Ahava
on the twelfth
of the first
month
to go
to Jerusalem;
and the hand
of our God
was over
us, and He delivered
us from the hand
of the enemy
and the ambushes
by the way.
32
Thus we came
to Jerusalem
and remained
there
three
days.
33
On the fourth
day
the silver
and the gold
and the utensils
were weighed
out in the house
of our God
into the hand
of Meremoth
the son
of Uriah
the priest,
and with him was Eleazar
the son
of Phinehas;
and with them were the Levites,
Jozabad
the son
of Jeshua
and Noadiah
the son
of Binnui.
34
Everything
was numbered
and weighed,
and all
the weight
was recorded
at that time.
35
The exiles
who had come
from the captivity
offered
burnt
offerings
to the God
of Israel:
12
bulls
for
all
Israel,
96
rams,
77
lambs,
12
male goats
for a sin offering,
all
as a
burnt
offering
to the LORD.
36
Then they delivered
the king's
edicts
to
the king's
satraps
and to the governors
in the provinces beyond
the River,
and they supported
the people
and the house
of God.
