Ezra 8:18-24

18And by the goodH2896 handH3027 of our GodH430 upon us they broughtH935 us a manH376 of understandingH7922, of the sonsH1121 of MahliH4249, the sonH1121 of LeviH3878, the sonH1121 of IsraelH3478; and SherebiahH8274, with his sonsH1121 and his brethrenH251, eighteenH6240H8083; 19And HashabiahH2811, and with him JeshaiahH3470 of the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847, his brethrenH251 and their sonsH1121, twentyH6242; 20Also of the NethinimsH5411, whom DavidH1732 and the princesH8269 had appointedH5414 for the serviceH5656 of the LevitesH3881, two hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 NethinimsH5411: all of them were expressedH5344 by nameH8034.

21Then I proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685 there, at the riverH5104 of AhavaH163, that we might afflictH6031 ourselves beforeH6440 our GodH430, to seekH1245 of him a rightH3477 wayH1870 for us, and for our little onesH2945, and for all our substanceH7399. 22For I was ashamedH954 to requireH7592 of the kingH4428 a band of soldiersH2428 and horsemenH6571 to helpH5826 us against the enemyH341 in the wayH1870: because we had spokenH559 unto the kingH4428, sayingH559, The handH3027 of our GodH430 is upon all them for goodH2896 that seekH1245 him; but his powerH5797 and his wrathH639 is against all them that forsakeH5800 him. 23So we fastedH6684 and besoughtH1245 our GodH430 for this: and he was intreatedH6279 of us.

24Then I separatedH914 twelveH6240H8147 of the chiefH8269 of the priestsH3548, SherebiahH8274, HashabiahH2811, and tenH6235 of their brethrenH251 with them,
