Nehemiah 12:45-47

New Century Version

⁴⁵ They performed the service of their God in making things pure. The singers and gatekeepers also did their jobs, as David had commanded his son Solomon. ⁴⁶ Earlier, in the time of David and Asaph, there was a leader of the singers and of the songs of praise and thanksgiving to God. ⁴⁷ So it was in the days of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah. All the people of Israel gave something to the singers and gatekeepers, and they also set aside part for the Levites. Then the Levites set aside part for the descendants of Aaron.
