Context of Nehemiah 11:22

20The rest of Israel, the kohanim, and the Levites, were in all the towns of Judah, each in his own inheritance. 21But the Temple servants dwelt on the Ophel, with Ziha and Gishpa over the Temple servants. The one in charge over the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani, son of Hashabiah, son of Mattaniah, son of Mica, from the sons of Asaph who were singers responsible for the service in the House of God. 23The king’s command concerning them was to provide regular daily support for the singers. 24Pethahiah the son of Meshezabel, from the descendants of Zerah the son of Judah, was the king’s agent for any matter concerning the people.
