Darby Bible

1And it came to pass when the wallH2346 wasH1961 builtH1129, and I had setH5975 up the doorsH1817, that the doorkeepers and the singersH7891 and the LevitesH3881 were appointedH5975. 2And I gave my brotherH251 HananiH2607, and HananiahH2608 the ruler of the citadelH1002, charge over JerusalemH3389; for he was a faithful manH376 and fearedH3372 1GodH430 above manyH7227. 3And I saidH559 to them that the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389 should not be openedH6605 until the sunH8121 was hot, and that they should shut the doorsH1817 and bar them while they stoodH5975 by; and that there should be appointedH5975 watches of the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, every oneH376 in his watchH4931, and every oneH376 over against his houseH1004. 4Now the cityH5892 was largeH1419 and greatH1419; but the peopleH5971 in it were fewH4592, and no housesH1004 were builtH1129. 5And my 2GodH430 putH5414 into my heartH3820 to gatherH6908 togetherH6908 the nobles, and the rulers, and the peopleH5971, for registration by genealogyH3187. And I foundH4672 a genealogicalH3187 register of those that had comeH5927 up at the firstH7223, and I foundH4672 writtenH3789 in it: 6These are the children of the provinceH4082 that wentH5927 up out of the captivity of those that had been carried awayH7725, whom NebuchadnezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had carried awayH7725, and who cameH5927 again to JerusalemH3389 and to JudahH3063, every oneH376 to his cityH5892; 7those who cameH935 with ZerubbabelH2216, JeshuaH3442, NehemiahH5166, AzariahH5838, Raamiah, Nahamani, MordecaiH4782, BilshanH1114, Mispereth, BigvaiH902, Nehum, BaanahH1196. The numberH4557 of the menH376 of the peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478: 8The children of ParoshH6551, twoH8147 thousandH505 one hundredH3967 and seventy-two. 9The children of ShephatiahH8203, threeH7969 hundredH3967 and seventy-two. 10The children of ArahH733, sixH8337 hundredH3967 and fifty-twoH2572. 11The children of Pahath-MoabH6355, of the children of JeshuaH3442 and JoabH3097, twoH3967 thousandH505 eightH8083 hundredH3967 and eighteen. 12The children of ElamH5867, a thousandH505 twoH3967 hundredH3967 and fifty-four. 13The children of ZattuH2240, eightH8083 hundredH3967 and forty-fiveH705. 14The children of ZaccaiH2140, sevenH7651 hundredH3967 and sixtyH8346. 15The children of BinnuiH1131, sixH8337 hundredH3967 and forty-eight. 16The children of BebaiH893, sixH8337 hundredH3967 and twenty-eight. 17The children of AzgadH5803, twoH8147 thousandH505 threeH7969 hundredH3967 and twenty-two. 18The children of AdonikamH140, sixH8337 hundredH3967 and sixty-seven. 19The children of BigvaiH902, two thousandH505 and sixty-seven. 20The children of AdinH5720, sixH8337 hundredH3967 and fifty-fiveH2572. 21The children of AterH333 of [the family of] HezekiahH2396, ninety-eight. 22The children of HashumH2828, threeH7969 hundredH3967 and twenty-eight. 23The children of BezaiH1209, threeH7969 hundredH3967 and twenty-four. 24The children of HariphH2756, a hundredH3967 and twelve. 25The children of GibeonH1391, ninety-five. 26The menH376 of Bethlehem and NetophahH5199, a hundredH3967 and eighty-eightH8084. 27The menH376 of AnathothH6068, a hundredH3967 and twenty-eight. 28The menH376 of Beth-azmaveth, forty-two. 29The menH376 of Kirjath-jearim, Chephirah, and BeerothH881, sevenH7651 hundredH3967 and forty-three. 30The menH376 of RamahH7414 and GebaH1387, sixH8337 hundredH3967 and twenty-one. 31The menH376 of Michmas, a hundredH3967 and twenty-two. 32The menH376 of Bethel and Ai, a hundredH3967 and twenty-three. 33The menH376 of the otherH312 NeboH5015, fifty-twoH2572. 34The children of the otherH312 ElamH5867, a thousandH505 twoH3967 hundredH3967 and fifty-four. 35The children of HarimH2766, threeH7969 hundredH3967 and twentyH6242. 36The children of JerichoH3405, threeH7969 hundredH3967 and forty-fiveH705. 37The children of Lod, HadidH2307, and OnoH207, sevenH7651 hundredH3967 and twenty-one. 38The children of SenaahH5570, threeH7969 thousandH505 nineH8672 hundredH3967 and thirtyH7970. 39The priestsH3548: the children of JedaiahH3048, of the houseH1004 of JeshuaH3442, nineH8672 hundredH3967 and seventy-three. 40The children of ImmerH564, a thousandH505 and fifty-twoH2572. 41The children of PashhurH6583, a thousandH505 twoH3967 hundredH3967 and forty-seven. 42The children of HarimH2766, a thousandH505 and seventeen. 43The LevitesH3881: the children of JeshuaH3442 [and] of KadmielH6934, of the children of Hodvah, seventy-four. 44The singersH7891: the children of AsaphH623, a hundredH3967 and forty-eight. 45The doorkeepers: the children of ShallumH7967, the children of AterH333, the children of TalmonH2929, the children of AkkubH6126, the children of HatitaH2410, the children of ShobaiH7630, a hundredH3967 and thirty-eight. 46The Nethinim: the children of ZihaH6727, the children of HasuphaH2817, the children of TabbaothH2884, 47the children of KerosH7026, the children of Sia, the children of PadonH6303, 48the children of Lebana, the children of Hagaba, the children of Salmai, 49the children of HananH2605, the children of GiddelH1435, the children of GaharH1515, 50the children of ReaiahH7211, the children of RezinH7526, the children of NekodaH5353, 51the children of GazzamH1502, the children of Uzza, the children of Phaseah, 52the children of BesaiH1153, the children of MeunimH4586, the children of Nephishesim, 53the children of BakbukH1227, the children of HakuphaH2709, the children of Harhur, 54the children of Bazlith, the children of MehidaH4240, the children of HarshaH2797, 55the children of BarkosH1302, the children of SiseraH5516, the children of Thamah, 56the children of NeziahH5335, the children of HatiphaH2412. 57The children of Solomon's servantsH5650: the children of SotaiH5479, the children of SopherethH5618, the children of Perida, 58the children of JaalaH3279, the children of DarkonH1874, the children of GiddelH1435, 59the children of ShephatiahH8203, the children of HattilH2411, the children of Pochereth-HazzebaimH6380, the children of AmonH526. 60All the Nethinim, and the children of Solomon's servantsH5650, threeH7969 hundredH3967 and ninety-two. 61And these are they that wentH5927 up from Tel-melahH8528, Tel-harshaH8521, Cherub-Addon and ImmerH564;
