"and Shabbethai and Jozabad, of the chiefs of the Levites, who had the oversight of the outward business of the house of God;" — Nehemiah 11:16 (ASV)

And Shabbethai and Jozabad, of the chief of the Levites
Along with Shemaiah; these had

the oversight of the outward business of the house of God :
who had the care of the repairs of the temple, and of getting in the wood for the altar, as Jarchi, and collecting the third part of the shekel, to purchase things with for the use of the temple.
