58 All the temple servants, and the children of Solomon’s servants, were three hundred and ninety-two.

59 These were those who went up from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Cherub, Addan, and Immer; but they could not show their fathers’ houses, and their offspring, whether they were of Israel:

60 the children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred and fifty-two.

61 Of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Hakkoz, and the children of Barzillai, who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name.

62 These sought their place amongst those who were registered by genealogy, but they were not found: therefore were they deemed disqualified and removed from the priesthood.

63 The governor told them that they should not eat of the most holy things until a priest stood up to serve with Urim and with Thummim.

64 The whole assembly together was forty-two thousand and three hundred and sixty,

65 in addition to their male servants and their female servants, of whom there were seven thousand and three hundred and thirty-seven; and they had two hundred singing men and singing women.

66 Their horses were seven hundred and thirty-six; their mules, two hundred and forty-five;

67 their camels, four hundred and thirty-five; their donkeys, six thousand and seven hundred and twenty.

68 Some of the heads of fathers’ households, when they came to the LORD’s house which is in Jerusalem, offered willingly for God’s house to set it up in its place.

69 They gave according to their ability into the treasury of the work sixty-one thousand darics of gold, and five thousand minas of silver, and one hundred priests’ garments.

70 So the priests and the Levites, with some of the people, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the temple servants, lived in their cities, and all Israel in their cities.
