2 Then I put my brother Hananiin charge of Jerusalem, along with Hananiahthe commander of the fortress, because he was a faithful man who feared God more than most. 3 And I told them, "Do not open the gates of Jerusalemuntil the sun is hot. While the guards are on duty, keep the doors shut and securely fastened. And appoint the residents of Jerusalemas guards, some at their posts and some at their own homes."
The List of Returning Exiles

I found the genealogical register of those who had first returned, and I found the following written in it:
