58All the Nethinims and the descendants of Solomon's servants together were three hundred and ninety-two.
59These are the ones who came up from Telmelah, Telharsa, Cherub, Addan, and Immer. But they could not prove which family they came from, or whether they were from Israel:
60the descendants of Delaiah, the descendants of Tobiah, and the descendants of Nekoda, six hundred and fifty-two.
61Also from the descendants of the priests: the descendants of Habaiah, the descendants of Koz, and the descendants of Barzillai. This man had married one of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and he was called by their name.
62These men looked for their names in the family records, but their names were not found there. So they were treated as unclean and were not allowed to serve as priests.
63The Tirshatha told them that they must not eat any of the most holy things until a priest stood up with Urim and with Thummim.
64The whole group together numbered forty-two thousand three hundred and sixty,
65besides their menservants and maidservants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred and thirty-seven. They also had two hundred singing men and singing women.
66They had seven hundred and thirty-six horses and two hundred and forty-five mules,
67four hundred and thirty-five camels, and six thousand seven hundred and twenty donkeys.
68When some of the leaders of the families came to the house of the LORD in Jerusalem, they gave freely for the house of God, so that it could be built again in its place.
69They gave as much as they were able to the treasury for the work: sixty-one thousand drams of gold, five thousand pounds of silver, and one hundred garments for the priests.
70So the priests, the Levites, some of the people, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the Nethinims settled in their cities, and all Israel lived in their cities.
