The Nethinim (those appointed) are frequently mentioned in Ezra and Nehemiah, and they apparently were servants assigned to the more menial tasks around the temple and city.

Nevertheless, they dwelt in the Ophel section of Jerusalem and were, by this time at least, considered full participants in the faith of the nation."
