Notes
This list was likely compiled when Joiakim was the high priest (Nehemiah 12:12) to confirm the legitimacy of the priests and Levites in office. Except for the omission of Hattush (see Nehemiah 12:2), this list includes the same names as Nehemiah 12:1–7.
These lists of priests and Levites include those who originally returned from exile with Zerubbabel (Nehemiah 12:1–9), a chronological list of high priests (12:10–11), and the priests and Levites who served during Joiakim's time, the high priest during Nehemiah and Ezra's era (12:12–26).
