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.
Gifts for the Temple
24 And I separated twelve of the leaders of the priests—Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them—
25 and weighed out to them athe silver, the gold, and the articles, the offering for the house of our God which the king and his counselors and his princes, and all Israel who were present, had offered.
26 I weighed into their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, silver articles weighing one hundred talents, one hundred talents of gold,
27 twenty gold basins worth a thousand drachmas, and two vessels of fine polished bronze, precious as gold.
