Ezra 8:14 In-Context

12 from the descendants of Azgad, Johanan son of Hakkatan, and with him 110 men;

13 from the later descendants of Adonikam, these were their names: Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them 60 men;

14 and from the descendants of Bigvai, both Uthai and Zaccur, and with them 70 men.

15 Now I assembled these exiles at the canal that flows to Ahava, and we camped there three days. And when I searched among the people and priests, I found no Levites there.

16 Then I summoned the leaders: Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, as well as the teachers Joiarib and Elnathan.
