Nehemiah 11:21 In-Context

19 Moreover the porters, `Akkuv, Talmon, and their brothers, who kept watch at the gates, were one hundred seventy-two.

20 The residue of Yisra'el, of the Kohanim, the Levites, were in all the cities of Yehudah, everyone in his inheritance.

21 But the temple servants lived in `Ofel: and Tzicha and Gishpa were over the temple servants.

22 The overseer also of the Levites at Yerushalayim was `Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashavyah, the son of Mattanyah, the son of Mikha, of the sons of Asaf, the singers, over the business of the house of God.

23 For there was a mitzvah from the king concerning them, and a settled provision for the singers, as every day required.
