Nehemiah 12:28-30

Living Bible

²⁸ The choir members also came to Jerusalem from the surrounding villages and from the villages of the Netophathites; ²⁹ they also came from Beth-gilgal and the area of Geba and Azmaveth, for the singers had built their own villages as suburbs of Jerusalem. ³⁰ The priests and Levites first dedicated themselves, then the people, the gates, and the wall.
