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

59 And these were those who went up from Telmelah, Telharsa, Cherub, Addan, and Immer: but could not tell what clan they were from, or prove their descent, whether they were of Israel:

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

61 And of the sons of the priests: the sons of Habaiah, the sons of Koz, and the sons of Barzillai; who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and had assumed their name:

62 These sought their names among those who were enrolled in the genealogies, but they were not found: so they were excluded from the priesthood, as unclean.

63 And the governor told them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, until there should be a priest with Urim and with Thummim.

64 ¶ The whole congregation together numbered forty-two thousand three hundred and sixty,

65 Plus their male and female servants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred and thirty-seven: and there were among them two hundred men and women who sang.

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

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

68 When some of the leaders of the clans came to the house of the LORD that is in Jerusalem, they gave willingly to rebuild the temple of God in its place:

69 They contributed as they were able to the treasury for the work sixty-one thousand drachmas of gold, five thousand minas of silver, and one hundred priests’ garments.

70 So the priests, the Levites, and some of the people settled in Jerusalem, and the singers, the gatekeepers, and the temple servants, lived in their own towns, and all other Israelites in their towns.
