5 After this the heads of fathers’ houses were chosen to go up, according to their tribes, with their wives and sons and daughters, and their menservants and maidservants, and their cattle. ² And Darius sent with them a thousand horsemen to take them back to Jerusalem in safety, with the music of drums and flutes; ³ and all their brethren were making merry. And he made them go up with them.
