Nehemiah 12:27-34

27At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, they sought out Levites from all their places to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with joy and thanksgiving, and songs with cymbals, harps and lyres.

28The companies of singers were also assembled from the district around Jerusalem and from the Netophathite villages,

29and from Beth-gilgal, and from the fields of Geba and Azmavet, for the singers had built communities for themselves round about Jerusalem.

30After the kohanim and the Levites had purified themselves, they purified the people, the gates, and the wall.

31Then I led the leaders of Judah up on the wall, and I appointed two great choirs to give thanks. One of the processions went to the right on the wall toward the Dung Gate,

32and going after them, Hoshaiah and half of the leaders of Judah—

33Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

34Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah and Jeremiah,
