²⁴ The leaders of the Levites were:

The two groups stood opposite each other to sing and praise and thank God. They did this in the way that God's servant, King David, had commanded.

²⁵ The guards for the temple gates were:

They watched the temple rooms near the gates, where they stored special things. ²⁶ They served as guards in the time of Joiakim, son of Jeshua and grandson of Jozadak. This was in the time when Nehemiah had authority over Judah, and Ezra the priest was teaching people God's Law.
