Ezra 2
1. Now these [are] the children of the province that went up out of
the captivity, of those which had been carried away, whom
Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away unto
Babylon, and came again unto Jerusalem and Judah, every one
unto his city;
2 Which came with Zerubbabel: Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah,

Azariah} {Reelaiah: or, Raamiah} {Mispar: or, Mispereth} {Rehum:
