55. The descendants of Solomon’s servants: the descendants of Sotai, the descendants of Hassophereth, the descendants of Peruda,

56. the descendants of Jaalah, the descendants of Darkon, the descendants of Giddel,

57. the descendants of Shephatiah, the descendants of Hattil, the descendants of Pochereth-hazzebaim, and the descendants of Ami.

58. All the temple servants and the descendants of Solomon’s servants were three hundred and ninety-two.

59. Now these were the ones who came up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addan, and Immer, but they were not able to prove their fathers’ household and their descent, if they were from Israel:

60. the descendants of Delaiah, the descendants of Tobiah, and the descendants of Nekoda, six hundred and fifty-two.

61. And from the descendants of the priests: the descendants of Habaiah, the descendants of Hakkoz, and the descendants of Barzillai (who took a wife from the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called by their name).

62. These sought their record in the genealogy records, but they were not found, and were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.

64. The whole assembly together was forty-two thousand three hundred and sixty,

65. apart from their male and female servants, of whom were seven thousand three hundred and thirty-seven; and they had two hundred male and female singers.
