2 Chronicles 31:1-10

1Now when all this was finishedH3615, all IsraelH3478 that were present wentH3318 out to the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and brake in pieces the pillarsH4676, and hewed down the Asherim, and brake down the highH1116 placesH1116 and the altarsH4196 out of all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, in EphraimH669 also and ManassehH4519, until they had destroyedH3615 them all. Then all the children of IsraelH3478 returnedH7725, every manH376 to his possessionH272, into their own citiesH5892.

2And HezekiahH2396 appointedH5975 the courses of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 after their courses, every manH376 according to his serviceH5656, both the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, for burnt-offerings and for peace-offerings, to minister, and to giveH3034 thanksH3034, and to praiseH1984 in the gatesH8179 of the campH4264 of Jehovah. 3He appointedH4150 also the king’sH4428 portionH4521 of his substance for the burnt-offerings, to wit, for the morningH1242 and eveningH6153 burnt-offerings, and the burnt-offerings for the sabbathsH7676, and for the newH2320 moonsH2320, and for the set feastsH4150, as it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of Jehovah. 4Moreover he commanded the peopleH5971 that dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389 to giveH5414 the portionH4521 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, that they might giveH5414 themselves to the lawH8451 of Jehovah. 5And as soon as the commandment cameH935 abroad, the children of IsraelH3478 gave in abundanceH7230 the first-fruits of grainH1715, newH8492 wineH8492, and oilH3323, and honeyH1706, and of all the increaseH7235 of the fieldH7704; and the titheH4643 of all thingsH1697 broughtH935 they in abundantly. 6And the children of IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063, that dweltH3427 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, they alsoH1571 broughtH935 in the titheH4643 of oxenH1241 and sheepH6629, and the titheH4643 of dedicated thingsH6944 which were consecratedH6942 unto Jehovah their GodH430, and laid them by heapsH6194. 7In the thirdH7992 monthH2320 they beganH2490 to lay the foundation of the heapsH6194, and finishedH3615 them in the seventhH7637 monthH2320. 8And when HezekiahH2396 and the princesH8269 cameH935 and sawH7200 the heapsH6194, they blessedH1288 Jehovah, and his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. 9Then HezekiahH2396 questioned the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 concerning the heapsH6194. 10And AzariahH5838 the chiefH7218 priestH3548, of the houseH1004 of ZadokH6659, answered him and saidH559, Since the peopleH5971 beganH2490 to bringH935 the oblations into the houseH1004 of Jehovah, we have eatenH398 and had enough, and have leftH3498 plenty: for Jehovah hath blessedH1288 his peopleH5971; and that which is leftH3498 is this great store.
