Ezra 8:19-21

Living Bible

¹⁹ God also sent Hashabiah; and Jeshaiah (the son of Merari), with twenty of his sons and brothers; ²⁰ and 220 Temple attendants. (The Temple attendants were assistants to the Levites—a job classification of Temple employees first instituted by King David.) These 220 men were all listed by name.

²¹ Then I declared a fast while we were at the Ahava River so that we would humble ourselves before our God; and we prayed that he would give us a good journey and protect us, our children, and our goods as we traveled.
