11 They [also] gave to the craftsmen and builders, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and for the woodwork of the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.

12 And the men did the work faithfully, and the overseers of them [were] Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of Kohath, to set [it] forward; and [others of] the Levites, all those with understanding in instruments of music.

13 Also [they were] over the bearers of burdens and [were] overseers of all that wrought the work in any manner of service; and of the Levites [there were] scribes, and officers, and porters.
