Context of Nehemiah 11:22

20And the rest of the Israelites, with the priests and the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, each on his own property. 21The temple attendants were living on Ophel, and Ziha and Gishpa were over them. The overseer of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica. He was one of Asaph’s descendants who were the singers responsible for the service of the temple of God. 23For they were under royal orders which determined their activity day by day. 24Pethahiah son of Meshezabel, one of the descendants of Zerah son of Judah, was an adviser to the king in every matter pertaining to the people.
