Of the descendants of Adonikam, the last ones, their names being Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah, and with them seventy men.
40
Of the descendants of Bigvai, Uthai son of Istalcurus, and with him seventy men.
41
I assembled them at the river called Theras, and we encamped there three days, and I inspected them.
42
When I found there none of the descendants of the priests or of the Levites,
43
I sent word to Eliezar, Iduel, Maasmas,
44
Elnathan, Shemaiah, Jarib, Nathan, Elnathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, who were leaders and men of understanding;
45
I told them to go to Iddo, who was the leading man at the place of the treasury,
46
and ordered them to tell Iddo and his kindred and the treasurers at that place to send us men to serve as priests in the house of our Lord.
47
And by the mighty hand of our Lord they brought us competent men of the descendants of Mahli son of Levi, son of Israel, namely Sherebiah with his descendants and kinsmen, eighteen;
48
also Hashabiah and Annunus and his brother Jeshaiah, of the descendants of Hananiah, and their descendants, twenty men;
49
and of the temple servants, whom David and the leaders had given for the service of the Levites, two hundred twenty temple servants; the list of all their names was reported.
