1 Esdras 8:27

27 I was encouraged by my God's help, and I gathered people from Israel to go up with me.

1 Esdras 8:27 In-Context

25 Bless the Lord alone, who put this into the king's heart, to glorify his house in Jerusalem,

26 and who honored me before the king, the counselors, all of his political advisors, and officials.

27 I was encouraged by my God's help, and I gathered people from Israel to go up with me.

28 These are the leaders, according to their families and their divisions, who went up with me from Babylon, in King Artaxerxes' rule:

29 From the family of Phinehas, Gershom. From the family of Ithamar, Gamael. From the family of David, Hattush, Shecaniah's son.
