Nehemiah 11:21 In-Context

19 The gatekeepers: 'Akuv, Talmon and their kinsmen, who kept watch at the gates, numbered 172.

20 The rest of Isra'el, [the rest of] the cohanim and [the rest of] the L'vi'im were in all the cities of Y'hudah, each on his own property.

21 The temple servants lived in the 'Ofel; Tzicha and Gishpa were in charge of the temple servants.

22 The overseer of the L'vi'im in Yerushalayim was 'Uzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashavyah, the son of Matanyah, the son of Mikha, from the descendants of Asaf the singers; [he was] in charge of the work of the house of God.

23 For they were subject to the king's orders; and there was a fixed schedule for the singers, assigning them their daily duties.
