12In the days of Joiakim, the heads of the priestly families were Meraiah of Seraiah, Hananiah of Jeremiah,

13Meshullam of Ezra, Jehohanan of Amariah,

14Jonathan of Malluchi, Joseph of Shebaniah,

15Adna of Harim, Helkai of Meraioth,

19Mattenai of Joiarib, Uzzi of Jedaiah,

20Kallai of Sallai, Eber of Amok,

21Hashabiah of Hilkiah, and Nethanel of Jedaiah.

22In the days of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua, the heads of the families of the Levites and priests were recorded while Darius the Persian ruled.

23Levi’s descendants, the family heads, were recorded in the Book of the Historical Events during the days of Johanan son of Eliashib.

24The heads of the Levites — Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua son of Kadmiel, along with their relatives opposite them — gave praise and thanks, division by division, as David the man of God had prescribed.

25This included Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, and Obadiah. Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers who guarded the storerooms at the city gates.

26These served in the days of Joiakim son of Jeshua, son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor and Ezra the priest and scribe.
