Nehemiah 12:27-29

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁷ And for the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, they sought the Levites in all their places to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with gladness, with thanksgivings, and with singing, cymbals, harps, and lyres.

²⁸ And the sons of the singers gathered together from the plain and circuit around Jerusalem and from the villages of the Netophathites,

²⁹ And also from Beth-gilgal and the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for the singers had built for themselves villages around Jerusalem.
