Dedication of the Wall

²⁷ At the dedication of the wall^(A) of Jerusalem, they sent for the Levites wherever they lived and brought them to Jerusalem to celebrate the joyous dedication with thanksgiving and singing accompanied by cymbals, harps, and lyres.^{(B) 28} The singers gathered from the region around Jerusalem, from the villages of the Netophathites,^{(C) 29} from Beth-gilgal, and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for they had built villages for themselves around Jerusalem.
