Ezra 8:15-17

15Now I assembled them at 1the river that runs to Ahava, where we camped for three days; and when I paid close attention to 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.

17And I sent them to Iddo the 4leading man at the place called 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.
