“So stood the two companies of them that gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me; ”
“So stood the two companies of those who gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me;”
“Then the two choirs that gave thanks took their stations in the temple of God. I did also, along with half the officials with me,”
“And the priests, Eliachim, Maasia, Miamin, Michea, Elioenai, Zacharia, Hanania with trumpets,”
“So the two bands of those who gave praise took up their positions in the house of God, and I and half of the chiefs with me:”
“So stood the two companies of them that gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me:”
And the second choir of those who gave thanks went forth on the opposite side, and I went after them, and one half part of the people were upon the wall, and upon the tower of the furnaces, as far as the widest wall,
and above the gate of Ephraim, and above the ancient gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hamath, and as far as the flock gate. And they stood still at the watch gate.
And the two choirs of those who gave praise stood still at the house of God, with myself and one half part of the magistrates who were with me.
And the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Mijamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah, went forth with trumpets,
with Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers were singing clearly, and Jezrahiah was their foremost leader.
And on that day, they immolated great sacrifices, and they rejoiced. For God had caused them to rejoice with great joy. And their wives and children also were glad. And the rejoicing of Jerusalem was heard from far away.
On that day also, they enrolled men over the storehouses of the treasury, for the libations, and for the first-fruits, and for the tithes, so that the leaders of the city might bring these in, by them, with proper thanksgiving, for the priests and the Levites. For Judah was rejoicing in the priests and the Levites who were assisting.
