Verse 16 is found in chapter 8 of Ezra. When they gather at the Ahava River, Ezra discovers that there are Israelites present, but not enough Levites. He therefore sends messengers to Casiphia to request servants for the house of God. The episode shows that the return requires not only population, but people specifically prepared for temple service.
