May 27, 2025, Nehemiah 12:1-26
12 These
are the priests and the Levites who came up with Zerubbabel the son
of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra, 2 Amariah,
Malluch, Hattush, 3 Shecaniah, Rehum,
Meremoth, 4 Iddo, Ginnethoi, Abijah, 5 Mijamin,
Maadiah, Bilgah, 6 Shemaiah, Joiarib,
Jedaiah, 7 Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These
were the chiefs of the priests and of their brothers in the days of Jeshua.
8 And the
Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who with his
brothers was in charge of the songs of thanksgiving. 9 And
Bakbukiah and Unni and their brothers stood opposite them in the
service. 10 And Jeshua was the father of Joiakim,
Joiakim the father of Eliashib, Eliashib the father of Joiada, 11 Joiada
the father of Jonathan, and Jonathan the father of Jaddua.
12 And in
the days of Joiakim were priests, heads of fathers' houses: of Seraiah,
Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah; 13 of Ezra,
Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan; 14 of Malluchi,
Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph; 15 of Harim, Adna;
of Meraioth, Helkai; 16 of Iddo, Zechariah; of
Ginnethon, Meshullam; 17 of Abijah, Zichri; of
Miniamin, of Moadiah, Piltai; 18 of Bilgah,
Shammua; of Shemaiah, Jehonathan; 19 of Joiarib,
Mattenai; of Jedaiah, Uzzi; 20 of Sallai, Kallai;
of Amok, Eber; 21 of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; of Jedaiah,
Nethanel.
22 In the
days of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua, the Levites were recorded as
heads of fathers' houses; so too were the priests in the reign of Darius the
Persian. 23 As for the sons of Levi, their heads of
fathers' houses were written in the Book of the Chronicles until the days
of Johanan the son of Eliashib. 24 And the chiefs
of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with
their brothers who stood opposite them, to praise and to give
thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of
God, watch by watch. 25 Mattaniah, Bakbukiah,
Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers standing guard
at the storehouses of the gates. 26 These were
in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua son of Jozadak, and in the days
of Nehemiah the governor and of Ezra, the priest and scribe.
God’s plan of salvation
always includes providing ministers for his people. Thank him for your
ministers.
