Ezra 8:15-17

American Standard Version

¹⁵ And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to Ahava; and there we encamped three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi. ¹⁶ Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, ^[a]who were teachers. ¹⁷ And ^[b]I sent them forth unto Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia; and I told them what they should say unto ^[c]Iddo, and his brethren the Nethinim, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring unto us ministers for the house of our God.
