Nehemiah 12:20 stands within the register of priests belonging to the restored Jerusalem community. The wider chapter places that register at the dedication of Jerusalem's rebuilt walls, kept with thanksgiving and music and sacrifices and rejoicing. In form the verse is a listing of priestly family names, not the statement of a promise.
