International Standard Version

1After the wall had been completed and its doors installed, then the gatekeepers, singers, and descendants of Levi were appointed.

2Then I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, along with Hananiah the commander of the fortress, because he was a faithful man who feared God more than most.
