Context of Nehemiah 12:26

24The leaders of the Levites were: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, Kadmiel's son, Jeshua, and their relatives. The two groups stood opposite each other to sing and praise and thank God. They did this in the way that God's servant, King David, had commanded. 25The guards for the temple gates were: Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon and Akkub. They watched the temple rooms near the gates, where they stored special things. They served as guards in the time of Joiakim, son of Jeshua and grandson of Jozadak. This was in the time when Nehemiah had authority over Judah, and Ezra the priest was teaching people God's Law. 27This is what happened when we dedicated the wall of Jerusalem to God. The people told the Levites to come to Jerusalem from the places where they lived. They wanted the Levites to help them to praise God with joy. The Levites would sing songs to thank God. They would make music with cymbals, harps and lyres. 28The temple singers came together from places near Jerusalem. They came from villages round Netophah,

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-26These lists of priests and Levites include those who originally returned from exile with Zerubbabel (Nehemiah 12:1–9), a chronological list of high priests (12:10–11), and the priests and Levites who served during Joiakim's time, the high priest during Nehemiah and Ezra's era (12:12–26).Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 10-4710. Jeshua begat Joiakim, &c.--This enumeration was of great importance, not only as establishing their individual purity of descent, but because the chronology of the Jews was henceforth to be reckoned, not as formerly by the reigns of their kings, but by the successions of their high priests.Read the comment
