Nehemiah 12:45-47

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴⁵ And they performed the due service of their God and of the purification; so did the singers and gatekeepers, as David and his son Solomon had commanded.

⁴⁶ For in the days of David and Asaph of old, there was a chief of singers and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.

⁴⁷ And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and [later] of Nehemiah gave the daily portions for the singers and the gatekeepers; and they set apart what was for the Levites, and the Levites set apart what was for the sons of Aaron [the priests].
