16. Then sent[H7971] I for Eliezer,[H461] for Ariel,[H740] for Shemaiah,[H8098] and for Elnathan,[H494] and for Jarib,[H3402] and for Elnathan,[H494] and for Nathan,[H5416] and for Zechariah,[H2148] and for Meshullam,[H4918] chief men;[H7218] also for Joiarib,[H3114] and for Elnathan,[H494] men of understanding.[H995]

18. And by the good[H2896] hand[H3027] of our God[H430] upon[H5921] us they brought[H935] us a man[H376] of understanding,[H7922] of the sons[H4480] [H1121] of Mahli,[H4249] the son[H1121] of Levi,[H3878] the son[H1121] of Israel;[H3478] and Sherebiah,[H8274] with his sons[H1121] and his brethren,[H251] eighteen;[H8083] [H6240]

19. And Hashabiah,[H2811] and with[H854] him Jeshaiah[H3470] of the sons[H4480] [H1121] of Merari,[H4847] his brethren[H251] and their sons,[H1121] twenty;[H6242]

20. Also of[H4480] the Nethinims,[H5411] whom[H7945] David[H1732] and the princes[H8269] had appointed[H5414] for the service[H5656] of the Levites,[H3881] two hundred[H3967] and twenty[H6242] Nethinims:[H5411] all[H3605] of them were expressed[H5344] by name.[H8034]

21. Then I proclaimed[H7121] a fast[H6685] there,[H8033] at[H5921] the river[H5104] of Ahava,[H163] that we might afflict ourselves[H6031] before[H6440] our God,[H430] to seek[H1245] of[H4480] him a right[H3477] way[H1870] for us, and for our little ones,[H2945] and for all[H3605] our substance.[H7399]

22. For[H3588] I was ashamed[H954] to require[H7592] of[H4480] the king[H4428] a band of soldiers[H2428] and horsemen[H6571] to help[H5826] us against the enemy[H4480] [H341] in the way:[H1870] because[H3588] we had spoken[H559] unto the king,[H4428] saying,[H559] The hand[H3027] of our God[H430] is upon[H5921] all[H3605] them for good[H2896] that seek[H1245] him; but his power[H5797] and his wrath[H639] is against[H5921] all[H3605] them that forsake[H5800] him.

23. So we fasted[H6684] and besought[H1245] our God[H4480] [H430] for[H5921] this:[H2063] and he was entreated[H6279] of us.

24. Then I separated[H914] twelve[H8147] [H6240] of the chief[H4480] [H8269] of the priests,[H3548] Sherebiah,[H8274] Hashabiah,[H2811] and ten[H6235] of their brethren[H4480] [H251] with[H5973] them,

25. And weighed[H8254] unto them[H853] the silver,[H3701] and the gold,[H2091] and the vessels,[H3627] even the offering[H8641] of the house[H1004] of our God,[H430] which the king,[H4428] and his counselors,[H3289] and his lords,[H8269] and all[H3605] Israel[H3478] there present,[H4672] had offered: [H7311]

26. I even weighed[H8254] unto[H5921] their hand[H3027] six[H8337] hundred[H3967] and fifty[H2572] talents[H3603] of silver,[H3701] and silver[H3701] vessels[H3627] a hundred[H3967] talents,[H3603] and of gold[H2091] a hundred[H3967] talents;[H3603]

27. Also twenty[H6242] basins[H3713] of gold,[H2091] of a thousand[H505] drams;[H150] and two[H8147] vessels[H3627] of fine[H6668] [H2896] copper,[H5178] precious[H2530] as gold.[H2091]

28. And I said[H559] unto[H413] them, Ye[H859] are holy[H6944] unto the LORD;[H3068] the vessels[H3627] are holy[H6944] also; and the silver[H3701] and the gold[H2091] are a freewill offering[H5071] unto the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of your fathers.[H1]

29. Watch[H8245] ye, and keep[H8104] them, until[H5704] ye weigh[H8254] them before[H6440] the chief[H8269] of the priests[H3548] and the Levites,[H3881] and chief[H8269] of the fathers[H1] of Israel,[H3478] at Jerusalem,[H3389] in the chambers[H3957] of the house[H1004] of the LORD.[H3068]

30. So took[H6901] the priests[H3548] and the Levites[H3881] the weight[H4948] of the silver,[H3701] and the gold,[H2091] and the vessels,[H3627] to bring[H935] them to Jerusalem[H3389] unto the house[H1004] of our God.[H430]

31. Then we departed[H5265] from the river[H4480] [H5104] of Ahava[H163] on the twelfth[H8147] [H6240] day of the first[H7223] month,[H2320] to go[H1980] unto Jerusalem:[H3389] and the hand[H3027] of our God[H430] was[H1961] upon[H5921] us, and he delivered[H5337] us from the hand[H4480] [H3709] of the enemy,[H341] and of such as lay in wait[H693] by[H5921] the way.[H1870]

32. And we came[H935] to Jerusalem,[H3389] and abode[H3427] there[H8033] three[H7969] days.[H3117]

33. Now on the fourth[H7243] day[H3117] was the silver[H3701] and the gold[H2091] and the vessels[H3627] weighed[H8254] in the house[H1004] of our God[H430] by[H5921] the hand[H3027] of Meremoth[H4822] the son[H1121] of Uriah[H223] the priest;[H3548] and with[H5973] him was Eleazar[H499] the son[H1121] of Phinehas;[H6372] and with[H5973] them was Jozabad[H3107] the son[H1121] of Jeshua,[H3442] and Noadiah[H5129] the son[H1121] of Binnui,[H1131] Levites;[H3881]

34. By number[H4557] and by weight[H4948] of every one:[H3605] and all[H3605] the weight[H4948] was written[H3789] at that[H1931] time.[H6256]

35. Also the children[H1121] of those that had been carried away,[H1473] which were come[H935] out of the captivity,[H4480] [H7628] offered[H7126] burnt offerings[H5930] unto the God[H430] of Israel,[H3478] twelve[H8147] [H6240] bullocks[H6499] for[H5921] all[H3605] Israel,[H3478] ninety[H8673] and six[H8337] rams,[H352] seventy[H7657] and seven[H7651] lambs,[H3532] twelve[H8147] [H6240] he goats[H6842] for a sin offering:[H2403] all[H3605] this was a burnt offering[H5930] unto the LORD.[H3068]

36. And they delivered[H5414] [H853] the king's[H4428] commissions[H1881] unto the king's[H4428] lieutenants,[H323] and to the governors[H6346] on this side[H5676] the river:[H5104] and they furthered[H5375] [H853] the people,[H5971] and the house[H1004] of God.[H430]
