8:1 These
are
the
heads
of
their
fathers'
houses,
and
this
is
the
genealogy
of
those
who
went
up

and
with

8:12 Of
the
sons
of
Azgad,
Johanan
the
son
of
Hakkatan,
and
with
him
110
men.
8:13 Of
the
sons
of
Adonikam,
those
who
came
later,
their
names
being
Eliphelet,
Jeuel,
and
Shemaiah,
and
with
them
60
men.
8:14 Of
the
sons
of
Bigvai,
Uthai
and
Zaccur,
and
with
them
70
men.
8:15 I
gathered
them
to
the
river
that
runs
to
Ahava,
and
there
we
camped
three
days.
As
I
reviewed
the
people
and
the
priests,
I
found
there
none
of
the
sons
of
Levi.
8:16 Then
I
sent
for
Eliezer,
Ariel,
Shemaiah,
Elnathan,
Jarib,
Elnathan,
Nathan,
Zechariah,
and
Meshullam,
leading
men,
and
for
Joiarib
and
Elnathan,
who
were
men
of
insight,
8:17 and
sent
them
to
Iddo,
the
leading
man
at
the
place
Casiphia,
telling
them
what
to
say
to
Iddo
and
his
brothers
and
the
temple
servants
at
the
place
Casiphia,
namely,
to
send
us
ministers
for
the
house
of
our
God.
8:18 And
by
the
good
hand
of
our
God
on
us,
they
brought
us
a
man
of
discretion,
of
the
sons
of
Mahli
the
son
of
Levi,
son
of
Israel,
namely
Sherebiah
with
his
sons
and
kinsmen,
18;
8:19 also
Hashabiah,
and
with
him
Jeshaiah
of
the
sons
of
Merari,
with
his
kinsmen
and
their
sons,
20;
8:20 besides
220
of
the
temple
servants,
whom
David
and
his
officials
had
set
apart
to
attend
the
Levites.
These
were
all
mentioned
by
name.
8:21 Then
I
proclaimed
a
fast
there,
at
the
river
Ahava,
that
we
might
humble
ourselves
before
our
God,
to
seek
from
him
a
safe
journey
for
ourselves,
our
children,
and
all
our
goods.
8:22 For
I
was
ashamed
to
ask
the
king
for
a
band
of
soldiers
and
horsemen
to
protect
us
against
the
enemy
on
our
way,
since
we
had
told
the
king,
"The
hand
of
our
God
is
for
good
on
all
who
seek
him,
and
the
power
of
his
wrath
is
against
all
who
forsake
him."
8:23 So
we
fasted
and
implored
our
God
for
this,
and
he
listened
to
our
entreaty.
8:24 Then
I
set
apart
twelve
of
the
leading
priests:
Sherebiah,
Hashabiah,
and
ten
of
their
kinsmen
with
them.
8:25 And
I
weighed
out
to
them
the
silver
and
the
gold
and
the
vessels,
the
offering
for
the
house
of
our
God
that
the
king
and
his
counselors
and
his
lords
and
all
Israel
there
present
had
offered.
8:26 I
weighed
out
into
their
hand
650
talents
of
silver,
and
silver
vessels
worth
200
talents,
and
100
talents
of
gold,
8:27 20
bowls
of
gold
worth
1,000
darics,
and
two
vessels
of
fine
bright
bronze
as
precious
as
gold.
8:28 And
I
said
to
them,
"You
are
holy
to
the
LORD,
and
the
vessels
are
holy,
and
the
silver
and
the
gold
are
a
freewill
offering
to
the
LORD,
the
God
of
your
fathers.
8:29 Guard
them
and
keep
them
until
you
weigh
them
before
the
chief
priests
and
the
Levites
and
the
heads
of
fathers'
houses
in
Israel
at
Jerusalem,
within
the
chambers
of
the
house
of
the
LORD."
8:30 So
the
priests
and
the
Levites
took
over
the
weight
of
the
silver
and
the
gold
and
the
vessels,
to
bring
them
to
Jerusalem,
to
the
house
of
our
God.
8:31 Then
we
departed
from
the
river
Ahava
on
the
twelfth
day
of
the
first
month,
to
go
to
Jerusalem.
The
hand
of
our
God
was
on
us,
and
he
delivered
us
from
the
hand
of
the
enemy
and
from
ambushes
by
the
way.
8:32 We
came
to
Jerusalem,
and
there
we
remained
three
days.
8:33 On
the
fourth
day,
within
the
house
of
our
God,
the
silver
and
the
gold
and
the
vessels
were
weighed
into
the
hands
of
Meremoth
the
priest,
son
of
Uriah,
and
with
him
was
Eleazar
the
son
of
Phinehas,
and
with
them
were
the
Levites,
Jozabad
the
son
of
Jeshua
and
Noadiah
the
son
of
Binnui.
8:34 The
whole
was
counted
and
weighed,
and
the
weight
of
everything
was
recorded.
8:35 At
that
time
those
who
had
come
from
captivity,
the
returned
exiles,
offered
burnt
offerings
to
the
God
of
Israel,
twelve
bulls
for
all
Israel,
ninety-six
rams,
seventy-seven
lambs,
and
as
a
sin
offering
twelve
male
goats.
All
this
was
a
burnt
offering
to
the
LORD.
8:36 They
also
delivered
the
king's
commissions
to
the
king's
satraps
and
to
the
governors
of
the
province
Beyond
the
River,
and
they
aided
the
people
and
the
house
of
God.
