And with them he sent Levites
With the five princes he sent nine Levites:
even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and
Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and
Tobadonijah, Levites;
of whom we nowhere else read; no doubt they were principal persons, and fit for the work they were sent about:
and with them Elishama and Jehoram, priests;
whose lips were to keep knowledge, and at whose mouth the law was to be sought, ( Malachi 2:7 ) .
