Nehemiah 11:21 In-Context

19 In addition the door-keepers, Akkub, Talmon, and their brothers who kept watch at the doors, were a hundred and seventy-two.

20 And the rest of Israel, of the priests, the Levites, were in all the towns of Judah, every one in his heritage.

21 But the Nethinim were living in the Ophel; and Ziha and Gishpa were over the Nethinim.

22 And the overseer of the Levites at Jerusalem was Uzzi, the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica, of the sons of Asaph, the music-makers, who was over the business of the house of God.

23 For there was an order from the king about them and a regular amount for the music-makers, for their needs day by day.
