These people were also there: Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malkijah, Elam, and Ezer. The choruses sang, led by Jezrahiah.
Shimea was Michael’s son. Michael was Baaseiah’s son. Baaseiah was Malkijah’s son.
Maaziah, Bilgai, and Shemaiah. These are the priests.
And there were brave men with Amashsai. All together there were 128 men. Zabdiel son of Haggedolim was appointed over them.
These priests were there with their trumpets: Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah.
The people offered many sacrifices that day and were happy because God had given them great joy. The women and children were happy. The sound of happiness in Jerusalem could be heard far away.
Sing for joy to God, our strength; shout out loud to the God of Jacob.
Begin the music. Play the tambourines. Play pleasant music on the harps and lyres.
Come, let’s sing for joy to the Lord. Let’s shout praises to the Rock who saves us.
