One of the twelve priests entrusted with the holy vessels ( Ezra 8:24 ); called in 1Es 8:54 Assamias . 9. The ‘ruler of half the district of Keilah,’ who helped to repair the wall ( Nehemiah 3:17 ), and sealed the covenant ( Nehemiah 10:11; Nehemiah 12:24; Nehemiah 12:26 ). 10. A Levite ( Nehemiah 11:22 ). 11. A priest ( Nehemiah 12:21 ).
