Ezra 8:15-20 - Servants For The Temple Are Gathered
15 And I gathered them together by the water that runneth toward Ahava, and there abode we three days. And when I looked among the people and the priests, I found no Levites there. 16 Then sent I to Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, the rulers, and Joiarib and Elnathan, which were men of understanding. 17 And to those gave I commandment unto Iddo, the chiefest at Casiphia; and I told them what they should say unto Iddo and his brethren the Nethinims at Casiphia: that they should cause the ministers of the house of our God to come unto us. 18 And through the good hand of our God upon us, they brought us a wise man from among the children of Mahli the son of Levi the son of Israel, even Sherebiah, with his sons and brethren, eighteen; 19 And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the children of Merari, with his brethren and their sons, twenty; 20 And of the Nethinims, whom David and the princes gave to minister unto the Levites, two hundred and twenty, all named by name.
