Nehemiah 12:7

Sallu (or Sallai), Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These were the chief of the priests and of their brethren in the days of Joshua, the heads of the courses which remained of the twenty-four into which the priesthood was divided at the time of David, 1 Chronicles 24:1. The four courses which had returned from the captivity had either been increased by later additions or had been subdivided, those not appearing in the list being such as had become extinct during the exile. No significance should be attached to the names, since the identity with those of a later day is often accidental.
