21. But ¹²the temple servants were living in Ophel, and Ziha and Gishpa were ^[n]in charge of the temple servants.
22. ¶ Now ¹³the overseer of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica, from the sons of Asaph, who were the singers for the ^[o]service of the house of God.
23. ¹⁴For there was a commandment from the king concerning them and a firm regulation for the song leaders ¹⁵day by day.
24. Pethahiah the son of Meshezabel, of the sons ¹⁶of Zerah the son of Judah, was the ¹⁷king’s ^[p]representative in all matters concerning the people.
