11 men commissioned by Ezra to find more Levites

Ezra 8:15-17
I assembled them at the canal that flows toward Ahava, and we camped there three days. When I checked among the people and the priests, I found no Levites there. So I summoned

Eliezer,
Ariel,
Shemaiah,
Elnathan,
Jarib,
Elnathan,
Nathan,
Zechariah
and Meshullam,
who were leaders,

and Joiarib
and Elnathan,
who were men of learning,

and I ordered them to go to Iddo, the leader in Kasiphia. I told them what to say to Iddo and his fellow Levites, the temple servants in Kasiphia, so that they might bring attendants to us for the house of our God.
