"As governor, Nehemiah had to fill positions of responsibility among God’s people. Whom did he appoint? He used those who were God-fearing, trustworthy, and reliable. (Neh. 7:2; 13:12, 13) Today as well, “what is expected of stewards is that they be found faithful.” (1 Cor. 4:2) Fine works do not go unnoticed.—Read 1 Timothy 5:25" - w16 8/15 p. 22 par 11

HOW MANY SINGERS?

Ezra 2:65 => 200
Nehemiah 7:67 => 245

While scribal error is a possibility the bible encylopedia Insight on the Scriptures vol II p. 489 points out that this is not necessarily an error since " It may be that Ezra and Nehemiah based their listings on different sources. For example, Ezra could have used a document listing those who enrolled to return to their homeland, whereas Nehemiah might have copied from a record listing those who actually did return." So there is a distinct possibility that the two scriputres are not contradictory but complementary.

"57 The sons of the servants of Solomon:+ the sons of Sotai, the sons of Sophereth, the sons of Pe·rida, 58 the sons of Jaʹa·la, the sons of Darʹkon, the sons of Giddel, 59 the sons of Shephatiah, the sons of Hattil, the sons of Poʹche·reth-haz·ze·baʹim, the sons of Aʹmon. 60 All the temple servants*+ and the sons of the servants of Solʹo·mon were 392.

61 And these went up from Tel-meʹlah, Tel-harʹsha, Cheʹrub, Addon, and Imʹmer, but they were unable to verify their paternal house and their origin, as to whether they were Israelites:+ 62 the sons of De·laʹiah, the sons of Tobiah, the sons of Ne·koʹda, 642. 63 And of the priests: the sons of Ha·baiʹah, the sons of Hakʹkoz,+ the sons of Barzillai, who took a wife from the daughters of Barzillai+ the Gilead·ite and was called by their name. 64 These looked for their records to establish their genealogy, but they could not be found, so they were disqualified from the priesthood.*+ 65 The governor told them that they should not eat from the most holy things until there was a priest who could consult the Urim and Thumʹmim.+

66 The total number of the entire congregation was 42,360,+ 67 apart from their male and female slaves,+ who were 7,337; they also had 245 male and female singers.+ 68 Their horses were 736, their mules 245, 69 their camels 435, their donkeys 6,720.

70 Some of the heads of the paternal houses contributed to the work. The governor gave to the treasury 1,000 gold drachmas,* 50 bowls, and 530 priests’ robes.+ 71 And some of the heads of the paternal houses gave to the project treasury 20,000 gold drachmas and 2,200 silver miʹnas.* 72 And the rest of the people gave 20,000 gold drachmas, 2,000 silver miʹnas, and 67 priests’ robes.

73 And the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers,+ some of the people, the temple servants,* and all the rest of Israel* settled in their cities.+ When the seventh month arrived,+ the Israelites had settled in their cities.+" - Nehemiah 7:57-73
