16_NEH_12_26 These [ were ] in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua , the son of Jozadak , And in the days of Nehemiah the governor , And of Ezra the priest , the scribe .
16_NEH_12_27 And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places , to bring them to Jerusalem , to keep the dedication with gladness , Both with thanksgivings , And with singing , [ with ] cymbals , psalteries , And with harps .
16_NEH_12_28 And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together , Both out of the plain country round about Jerusalem , And from the villages of Netophathi ;
16_NEH_12_29 also from the house of Gilgal , And out of the fields of Geba And Azmaveth : for the singers had builded them villages round about Jerusalem .
16_NEH_12_30 And the priests And the Levites purified themselves , And purified the people , And the gates , And the wall .
16_NEH_12_31 Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall , And appointed two great [ companies of them that gave ] thanks , [ whereof one ] went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate :
16_NEH_12_32 And after them went Hoshaiah , And half of the princes of Judah ,

16_NEH_12_38 And the other [ company of them that gave ] thanks went over against [ them ] , And I after them , And the half of the people upon the wall , from beyond the tower of the furnaces even unto the broad wall ;
16_NEH_12_39 And from above the gate of Ephraim , And above the old gate , And above the fish gate , And the tower of Hananeel , And the tower of Meah , even unto the sheep gate : And they stood still in the prison gate .

16_NEH_12_43 also that day they offered great sacrifices , And rejoiced : for God had made them Rejoice with great joy : the wives also And the children rejoiced : So that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off .
16_NEH_12_44 And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures , for the offerings , for the firstfruits , And for the tithes , to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests And Levites : for Judah rejoiced for the priests And for the Levites that waited .
16_NEH_12_45 And Both the singers And the porters kept the ward of their God , And the ward of the purification , according to the commandment of David , [ And ] of Solomon his son .
16_NEH_12_46 for in the days of David And Asaph of old [ there were ] chief of the singers , And songs of praise And thanksgiving unto God .
16_NEH_12_47 And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel , And in the days of Nehemiah , gave the portions of the singers And the porters , every day his portion : And they sanctified [ holy things ] unto the Levites ; And the Levites sanctified [ them ] unto the children of Aaron .
