Nehemiah 8:4-5

4Ezra stood on a tall tower to speak to the people. They had built it from wood so that they could hear him. Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah and Maaseiah stood at his right side. Pedaiah, Mishael, Malkijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah and Meshullam stood at his left side.

5Ezra opened the book. All the people could see him because he was high above them. When he opened the book, the crowd all stood up.
