60All the temple servants and the descendants of Solomon’s servants 392. 61The following are those who came from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer, but were unable to prove that their ancestral families and their lineage were Israelite: Delaiah’s descendants, Tobiah’s descendants, and Nekoda’s descendants 642 63and from the priests: the descendants of Hobaiah, the descendants of Hakkoz, and the descendants of Barzillai — who had taken a wife from the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite and who bore their name. 64These searched for their entries in the genealogical records, but they could not be found, so they were disqualified from the priesthood.
