Nehemiah 12:33

Nehemiah 12:33 In-Context

31 I had the leaders of Judah go up on top of the wall, and I appointed two large choruses to give thanks. One chorus went to the right on top of the wall, toward the Trash Gate.
32 Behind them went Hoshaiah and half the leaders of Judah.
33 Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,
34 Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, and Jeremiah also went.
35 Some priests with trumpets also went, along with Zechariah son of Jonathan. (Jonathan was the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah. Mattaniah was the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur. Zaccur was the son of Asaph.)
