19 and aHashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty men;
20 aalso of the Nethinim, whom David and the leaders had appointed for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim. All of them were designated by name.
Fasting and Prayer for Protection
21 Then I aproclaimed a fast there at the river of Ahava, that we might bhumble ourselves before our God, to seek from Him the cright way for us and our little ones and all our possessions.
22 For aI was ashamed to request of the king an escort of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the road, because we had spoken to the king, saying, b“The hand of our God is upon all those for cgood who seek Him, but His power and His wrath are dagainst all those who eforsake Him.”
23 So we fasted and entreated our God for this, and He aanswered our prayer.
