And in the time of Ahasuerus, when he first became king, they put on record a statement against the people of Judah and Jerusalem.

And at Achmetha, in the great house of the king in the land of Media, they came across a roll, in which this statement was put on record:

So I put on one side twelve of the chiefs of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers with them,

But on the fourth day was the silver and gold and vessels weighed in the house of our God under the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest, and with him Eleazar the son of Phinehas, and with them Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, the Levites,

All was handed over by number and by weight: and the weight was put on record at that time.
