^{73 Ref} So the priests and the Levites and the door-keepers and the music-makers and some of the people and the Nethinim, and all Israel, were living in their towns.

^{1 Ref} Now it happened, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed,

^{2 Ref} that I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the castle, charge over Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.
