¹⁹ The gatekeepers: Akkub, Talmon, and their kinsmen, who kept watch at the gates, totaled 172.

²⁰ Now the rest of Israel, the priests and the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, each on his own inheritance. ²¹ But the temple servants were living in Ophel; Ziha and Gishpa were in charge of the temple servants.

²² The overseer of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica, from Asaph’s sons, who were the singers in regard to the work of the house of God. ²³ For there was a command from the [Persian] king regarding the singers, as to their daily task. ²⁴ Pethahiah the son of Meshezabel, of the sons of Zerah the son of Judah, was the king’s representative in all matters concerning the people.
