12:31 Then I brought the leaders of Judah up onto the wall and appointed two great choirs that
gave thanks.

officials with me;
12:43 And they offered great sacrifices that day and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice

28 And one of the sons of Jehoiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was the son-in-law of
Sanballat the Horonite. Therefore I chased him from me. 29 Remember them, O my God,
because they have desecrated the priesthood and the covenant of the priesthood and the
Levites.
30 Thus I cleansed them from everything foreign, and I established the duties of the priests and
Levites, each in his work; 31 and I provided for the wood offering at appointed times, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, for good.
We need accountability, but we thank God for grace!
