16 Alors je fis appeler les chefs Éliézer, Ariel, Schemaeja, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zacharie et Meschullam, et les docteurs Jojarib et Elnathan.

17 Je les envoyai vers le chef Iddo, demeurant à Casiphia, et je mis dans leur bouche ce qu’ils devaient dire à Iddo et à ses frères les Néthiniens qui étaient à Casiphia, afin qu’ils nous amenassent des serviteurs pour la maison de notre Dieu.

18 Et, comme la bonne main de notre Dieu était sur nous, ils nous amenèrent Schérébia, homme de sens, d’entre les fils de Machli, fils de Lévi, fils d’Israël, et avec lui ses fils et ses frères, au nombre de dix-huit;

19 Haschabia, et avec lui Ésaïe, d’entre les fils de Merari, ses frères et leurs fils, au nombre de vingt;
