The children of the other Elam, a thousand two hundred fifty and four.

The Levites: the children of Jeshua, of Kadmiel, and of the children of Hodevah, seventy and four.

All the sons of Perez that dwelt at Jerusalem were four hundred threescore and eight valiant men.

All the Levites in the holy city were two hundred fourscore and four.
