"Judah and Benjamin and Shemaiah and Jeremiah,"
— Nehemiah 12:34, Bible in Basic English
“Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,”
Then I made the rulers of Judah come up on the wall, and I put in position two great bands of them who gave praise, walking in ordered lines; one went to the right on the wall, in the direction of the doorway where the waste was put;
And after them went Hoshaiah and half of the rulers of Judah,
And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
Judah and Benjamin and Shemaiah and Jeremiah,
And certain of the priests' sons with wind instruments; Zechariah, the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph,
And his brothers, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel and Judah, Hanani, with the music-instruments of David, the man of God; and Ezra the scribe was at their head;
And by the doorway of the fountain and straight in front of them, they went up by the steps of the town of David, at the slope up of the wall, over the house of David, as far as the water-doorway to the east.
