Ezra 8:15-17

15Now I assembled them at 1the river that runs to Ahava, where we camped for three days; and when I observed the people and the priests, I 2did not find any Levites there.

16So I sent for Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah and Meshullam, 3leading men, and for Joiarib and Elnathan, teachers.

17I sent them to Iddo the 4leading man at the place Casiphia; and I 5told them what to say to 6Iddo and his brothers, 7the temple servants at the place Casiphia, that is, to bring ministers to us for the house of our God.
