Nehemiah 11:17-22

17Mattaniah the son of Mica, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, who was the leader to begin the thanksgiving in prayer, and Bakbukiah, second among his brothers; and Abda the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun.

18All the Levites in the holy city totaled 284.

19The gatekeepers: Akkub, Talmon, and their kinsmen, who kept watch at the gates, totaled 172.

20Now the rest of Israel, the priests and the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, each on his own inheritance.

21But the temple servants were living in Ophel; Ziha and Gishpa were in charge of the temple servants.

22The overseer of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica, from Asaph’s sons, who were the singers in regard to the work of the house of God.
