3 notes on this verseAnd Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam. Not Ezra the priest and the scribe, for he has another place assigned him in this procession, Neh 12:36, but this seems to be one of the princes.
This site's exposition
appointed two great companies of them
on Nehemiah 12:31-37
Nehemiah brings the princes of Judah up onto the broad top of the wall and sets two great companies of them that give thanks, the first turning right toward the dung gate. A prince also named Ezra walks in this company, a different man from Ezra the priest and scribe, who is named later at the company's head. Trumpeters trace their line back six generations to Asaph, David's own choirmaster, and the company climbs the stairs of the city of David past the old palace to the water gate, the same gate where Ezra had once read the law aloud, with Ezra the scribe walking before them.

proposed
It also contained the temple which was hallowed by the manifestation of His presence, and anew set apart to His service. It was on these accounts that Jerusalem was called "the holy city," and by this public and solemn act of religious observance, after a long period of neglect and desecration, it was, as it were, restored to its rightful proprietor.
