And these are the names of the men who went up, according to their families among their tribes, according to their several heads:
5
the priests, the sons of Phinehas the son of Aaron; Jeshua the son of Jozadak, the son of Seraiah, and Joakim the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, of the house of David, out of the kindred of Phares, of the tribe of Judah,
6
who spoke wise sentences before Darius the king of Persia in the second year of his reign, in the month of Nisan, which is the first month.
7
And these are those of Jewry who came up from the captivity where they dwelt as strangers, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away unto Babylon.
8
And they returned unto Jerusalem and to the other parts of Jewry, every man to his own city, who came with Zerubbabel, with Jeshua, Nehemiah, and Seraiah, and Resaiah, Bilgai, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispar, Reelaiah, Rehum, and Baanah, their guides.
