Ezra 8:16-20

16So I sent for Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, 1leading men, and for Joiarib and Elnathan, teachers. 17And I sent them to Iddo the 2leading man at the place called Casiphia; and I 3told them what to say to 4Iddo and his brothers, 5the temple servants at the place Casiphia, that is, to bring ministers to us for the house of our God. 186And as the good hand of our God was upon us, they brought us a 7man of insight from the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, namely Sherebiah, and his sons and brothers, eighteen men; 19and Hashabiah and 8Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, with his brothers and their sons, twenty men; 20and 220 of 9the temple servants, whom David and the officials had provided for the service of the Levites, all of them designated by name.
