27And at the dedicationH2598 of the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 they soughtH1245 the LevitesH3881 out of all their placesH4725, to bringH935 them to JerusalemH3389, to keepH6213 the dedicationH2598 with gladnessH8057, both with thanksgivingsH8426, and with singingH7892, with cymbalsH4700, psalteriesH5035, and with harpsH3658. 28And the sonsH1121 of the singersH7891 gathered themselves togetherH622, both out of the plain countryH3603 aroundH5439 JerusalemH3389, and from the villagesH2691 of NetophathiH5200; 29Also from the houseH1004 of GilgalH1537H1019, and from the fieldsH7704 of GebaH1387 and AzmavethH5820: for the singersH7891 had builtH1129 them villagesH2691 aroundH5439 JerusalemH3389. 30And the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 purifiedH2891 themselves, and purifiedH2891 the peopleH5971, and the gatesH8179, and the wallH2346. 31Then I brought upH5927 the princesH8269 of JudahH3063 upon the wallH2346, and appointedH5975 twoH8147 greatH1419 companies of them that gave thanksH8426, of which one wentH8418 on the right handH3225 upon the wallH2346 toward the dungH830 gateH8179: 32And afterH310 them wentH3212 HoshaiahH1955, and halfH2677 of the princesH8269 of JudahH3063, 33And AzariahH5838, EzraH5830, and MeshullamH4918, 34JudahH3063, and BenjaminH1144, and ShemaiahH8098, and JeremiahH3414, 35And certain of the priestsH3548’ sonsH1121 with trumpetsH2689; namely, ZechariahH2148 the sonH1121 of JonathanH3129, the sonH1121 of ShemaiahH8098, the sonH1121 of MattaniahH4983, the sonH1121 of MichaiahH4320, the sonH1121 of ZaccurH2139, the sonH1121 of AsaphH623: 36And his brethrenH251, ShemaiahH8098, and AzaraelH5832, MilalaiH4450, GilalaiH1562, MaaiH4597, NethaneelH5417, and JudahH3063, HananiH2607, with the musicalH7892 instrumentsH3627 of DavidH1732 the manH376 of GodH430, and EzraH5830 the scribeH5608 beforeH6440 them. 37And at the fountainH5869 gateH8179, which was opposite them, they went upH5927 by the stairsH4609 of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, at the ascentH4608 of the wallH2346, above the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, even to the waterH4325 gateH8179 eastwardH4217. 38And the otherH8145 company of them that gave thanksH8426 wentH1980 to meetH4136 them, and I afterH310 them, and the halfH2677 of the peopleH5971 upon the wallH2346, from beyond the towerH4026 of the furnacesH8574 even to the broadH7342 wallH2346; 39And from above the gateH8179 of EphraimH669, and above the oldH3465 gateH8179, and above the fishH1709 gateH8179, and the towerH4026 of HananeelH2606, and the towerH4026 of MeahH3968, even to the sheepH6629 gateH8179: and they stood stillH5975 in the prisonH4307 gateH8179. 40So stoodH5975 the twoH8147 companies of them that gave thanksH8426 in the houseH1004 of GodH430, and I, and the halfH2677 of the rulersH5461 with me: 41And the priestsH3548; EliakimH471, MaaseiahH4641, MiniaminH4509, MichaiahH4320, ElioenaiH454, ZechariahH2148, and HananiahH2608, with trumpetsH2689; 42And MaaseiahH4641, and ShemaiahH8098, and EleazarH499, and UzziH5813, and JehohananH3076, and MalchijahH4441, and ElamH5867, and EzerH5829. And the singersH7891 sang loudH8085, with JezrahiahH3156 their overseerH6496.1 43Also that dayH3117 they offeredH2076 greatH1419 sacrificesH2077, and rejoicedH8055: for GodH430 had made them rejoiceH8055 with greatH1419 joyH8057: the wivesH802 also and the childrenH3206 rejoicedH8055: so that the joyH8057 of JerusalemH3389 was heardH8085 even afar offH7350.
