4 Ada, Azti, Abijah,

5 Benjamin, Meadriah, Belagiah,

6 Shemaiah, Nedo, Jedaiah,

7 Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These were the chiefs of the priests and of their brethren in the days of Joshua.

8 Moreover the Levites: Joshua and his sons, Kadmiah, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who were in charge to begin the thanksgiving, he and his brethren.

9 Also Bakbukah and Unni; their brethren were opposite to them in the watches.

10 And Joshua begat Joiakim, Joiakim begat Eliashib, and Eliashib begat Jehoiadah,

11 And Jehoiadah begat Jonathan, and Jonathan begat Jaddua.

12 And in the days of Joiakim were priests, the chiefs of the fathers; namely, Seraiah, Amariah, Jeremiah, Hananiah;

13 Azariah, Meshellum, Amariah, Johanan;

14 Malchiah, Jonathan, Shechaniah, Joseph;

22 The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Jehoiadah, Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded chiefs of the fathers; also the priests, to the reign of Darius the Persian.

23 The descendants of Levi, the chiefs of the fathers, were written in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.
