In context
18 Hivyo wakatutuma sisi kwa Mungu na mkono mzuri wa mtu aliyeitwa Ishekeli. Alikuwa mwana wa mali Mwana wa Levi mwana wa Israel. Akaja na wana kumi na wanane na ndugu,
19 pamoja naye Hashabia, pamoja na Yeshaya wa wana wa Merari na ndugu zake na wana wake jumla watu ishirini wote. Miongoni
20 mwao walichaguliwa kutumika katika Hekalu, ambapo Daudi na wakuu waliwapa kuwahudumia walawi: mia mbili ishirini kila mmoja wao aliagizwa kwa majina.
21 Tena nikatangaza kufunga mto Ahava ili kujinyenyekeza mbele za Mungu, kutafuta njia iliyoonyoka kutoka kwake kwa ajili yetu, watoto wetu na mali zetu,
22 Niliona aibu kumwomba mfalme kwa ajili ya jeshi au mpandafarasi kwa ajili ya kutulinda tunapokuwa njiani, tangu tumemwambia mfalme “mkono wa Mungu uko pamoja na wote wanaomtafuta kwa mazuri. lakini uweza wake na ghazabu yake ni juu ya wale wote wanaomwasi yeye.
23 Hivyo tulifunga na kumsihi Mungu kwa jambo hilo.
24 Tena nikachagua watu kumi na wawili kutoka kwa kuhani: Sherebia na Hashabia na ndugu zao wengine kumi.
