Now when we had builded the wall I hanged on the doors; and the porters, singers and Levites were appointed.

The singers: the children of Asaph, a hundred and eight and forty.

And the priests and Levites, the Porters, the singers, and the other of the people, and the Nethinims, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities."

for he had made him a great chest, and there had they afore time laid the meat offerings, frankincense, vessel, and the tithes of corn, wine and oil - according to the commandment given to the Levites, singers and porters - and the heave offerings of the priests.
