The other group also thanked God as they marched the other way round the walls. Nehemiah was with this group.

v40 So the two groups who thanked God stood in the house of God. I was there too with half of the officials. v41 The priests were with us with their *trumpets. They were Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah and Hananiah. v42 And Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malkijah, Elam and Ezer were also there. Jezrahiah led the singers as they sang.
