32Hoshaiah and half of the leaders of Judah followed this group of singers. 33Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam, Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah and Jeremiah also followed them. 35Some priests with trumpets went with them. They included Jonathan's son, Zechariah. He was a descendant of Asaph, through Shemaiah, Mattaniah, Micaiah and Zaccur, Asaph's son. 36These other people helped Zechariah: Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah and Hanani. They all had musical instruments, as King David had told them. Ezra, the teacher of God's Law, led this group of people.
