The Levites in the days of Eli´ashib, Joi´ada, and Jo´hanan, and Jad´du-a, were recorded chief of the fathers: also the priests, to the reign of Dari´us the Persian.
These were in the days of Joi´akim the son of Jesh´u-a, the son of Joz´adak, and in the days of Nehemi´ah the governor, and of Ezra the priest, the scribe.
Then Eli´ashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests, and they builded the sheep gate; they sanctified it, and set up the doors of it; even unto the tower of Me´ah they sanctified it, unto the tower of Han´aneel.
