Jezaniah ... Hoshaiah

These are the names of men. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names)

all the people from the least to the greatest

This is a way to refer to people from every social status. Here "least" and "greatest" represent those who are least important and those who are most important. Alternate translation: "all the people from every social status" or "all the people, including the least important and the most important people" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-merism)

all the people

Most likely not every individual in the town went. The word "all" is a generalization that means very many people went. Alternate translation: "many other people" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole)
