καὶ ἔστησαν τοὺς Λευίτας ἀπὸ εἰκοσαετοῦς ἐπὶ τῶν ἔργων τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ ἔστη ᾿Ιησοῦς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ καὶ Καδμιὴλ ὁ ἀδελφὸς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ημαδαβοῦν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ιωδὰ τοῦ ῾Ηλιαδοὺδ σὺν τοῖς υἱοῖς καὶ ἀδελφοῖς, πάντες οἱ Λευῖται, ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἐργοδιῶκται ποιοῦντες εἰς τὰ ἔργα ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ Κυρίου. καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν οἱ οἰκοδόμοι τὸν ναὸν τοῦ Κυρίου,
King James Version (KJV)

And they appointed the Levites from twenty years old over the works of the Lord. Then stood up Jesus, and his sons and brethren, and Cadmiel his brother, and the sons of Madiabun, with the sons of Joda the son of Eliadun, with their sons and brethren, all Levites, with one accord setters forward of the business, labouring to advance the works in the house of God. So the workmen built the temple of the Lord.

They appointed the Levites twenty years old and up to oversee the Lord's work. Jeshua, his sons and kinsmen, his brother Kadmiel, the sons of Madiabun, and the sons of Joda son of Eliadun, with their sons and kinsmen — all Levites — took charge together, working to advance the construction of God's house. So the workmen built the temple of the Lord.
