1.    And it came to pass when the wall was built, and I had set  up the doors, that the doorkeepers and the singers and the  Levites were appointed.
 
2.    And I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the  citadel, charge over Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man and  feared God above many.
 
3.    And I said to them that the gates of Jerusalem should not be  opened until the sun was hot, and that they should shut the  doors and bar them while they stood by; and that there should  be appointed watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one  in his watch, and every one over against his house.
 
4.    Now the city was large and great; but the people in it were  few, and no houses were built.
 
5.    And my God put into my heart to gather together the nobles,  and the rulers, and the people, for registration by genealogy.  And I found a genealogical register of those that had come up  at the first, and I found written in it:
 
6.    These are the children of the province that went up out of  the captivity of those that had been carried away, whom  Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who  came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one to his city;
