NASB
"Then the two choirs took their stand in the house of God. So did I and half of the officials with me;"
— Nehemiah 12:40, NASB
“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 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:”
At the Fountain Gate they went directly up the steps of the city of David by the stairway of the wall above the house of David to the Water Gate on the east.
The second choir proceeded to the left, while I followed them with half of the people on the wall, above the Tower of Furnaces, to the Broad Wall,
and above the Gate of Ephraim, by the Old Gate, by the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel and the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Sheep Gate; and they stopped at the Gate of the Guard.
Then the two choirs took their stand in the house of God. So did I and half of the officials with me;
and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah and Hananiah, with the trumpets;
and Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam and Ezer. And the singers sang, with Jezrahiah their leader,
and on that day they offered great sacrifices and rejoiced because God had given them great joy, even the women and children rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard from afar.
