"Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, [and] Mattaniah, who was over the thanksgiving, he and his brethren." — Nehemiah 12:8 (ASV)
Of the Levitical houses here mentioned, three only returned at first: those of Jeshua, Kadmiel, and Judah or Hodevah (Nehemiah 7:43). The others must have returned subsequently.
