25when I gathered together the gatekeepers
26in the days of Joakim son of Jeshua son of Josedek, and in the days of Nehemiah and Ezra the priest, the scribe
27And at the dedications of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites in their places to bring them to Jerusalem, to make dedications and gladness with thanksgiving and with songs, cymbals, and psalteries, and lyres.
28And the sons of the singers were gathered together, and from the environs round about, into Jerusalem, and from the villages.
29and from fields, because the singers built themselves dwellings in Jerusalem
30And the priests and the Levites were purified, and they purified the people and the gatekeepers and the wall.
31And I brought up the leaders of Judah upon the wall, and I set two great thanksgiving choirs, and they passed on the right over the wall of the dung gate.
32And Hoshea went after them, and half of the rulers of Judah.
33and Azarias, Esdras, and Mesoulam

37at the Gate of the Fountain opposite them they went up by the stairs of the city of David at the ascent of the wall above the house of David and as far as the Water Gate toward the east
38And for the thanksgiving the second went, meeting them, and I after her, and the half of the people on the wall, above the tower of the Tannurim, and as far as the broad wall.
39and above the gate of Ephraim and at the gate of the Fish Gate and at the tower of Hananel and as far as the Sheep Gate, and they stood at the gate of the guard

42and Maasia, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Ozi, and Johanan, and Melchias, and Elam, and Ezur, and the singers were heard, and they were visited
43And they sacrificed on that day great sacrifices, and they rejoiced because God had made them rejoice greatly, and their wives and their children rejoiced, and the joy was heard in Jerusalem from far away.
44And on that day they appointed men over the storerooms for the treasures, for the firstfruits and for the tithes and for the things gathered in them, by the rulers of the cities, portions for the priests and for the Levites, because there was joy in Judah over the priests and over the Levites who were standing.
45And they kept the watches of their God and the watches of the purification and the singers and the gatekeepers, according to the commandments of David and Solomon his son
46For in the days of David, Asaph was from the beginning first among the singers, and a hymn and praise to God
47And all Israel in the days of Zerobabel, giving portions to the singers and the gatekeepers, the provision of each day on its day, and setting apart for the Levites, and the Levites setting apart for the sons of Aaron.
