Nehemiah 11:18

16 Shabbethai and Jozabad, two leaders of the Levites, who supervised the work outside the house of God;

17 Mattaniah son of Mica, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, who led in thanksgiving and prayer; Bakbukiah, second among his associates; and Abda son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun.

The Levites in the holy city totaled 284.

19 And the gatekeepers: Akkub, Talmon, and their associates, who kept watch at the gates—172 men.

20 The rest of the Israelites, with the priests and Levites, were in all the villages of Judah, each on his own inheritance.
