2 Chronicles 31:11-19
11Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare 1rooms in the house of the Lord, and they prepared them. 12They faithfully brought in the contributions and the tithes and the consecrated things; and Conaniah the Levite was the officer in charge 2of them and his brother Shimei was second. 13Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath and Benaiah were overseers 3under the authority of Conaniah and Shimei his brother by the appointment of King Hezekiah, and 4Azariah was the chief officer of the house of God. 14Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the eastern gate, was over the freewill offerings of God, to apportion the contributions for the Lord and the most holy things. 155Under his authority were 6Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah and Shecaniah in 7the cities of the priests, to distribute faithfully their portions to their brothers by divisions, whether great or small, 16without regard to their genealogical enrollment, to the males from 89thirty years old and upward--everyone who entered the house of the Lord 10for his daily obligations--for their work in their duties according to their divisions; 17as well as the priests who were enrolled genealogically according to their fathers’ households, and the Levites 11from twenty years old and upwards, by their duties and their divisions. 18The genealogical enrollment included 12all their little children, their wives, their sons and their daughters, for the whole assembly, for they consecrated themselves 13faithfully in holiness. 19Also for the sons of Aaron the priests who were in 14the pasture lands of their cities, or in each and every city, 15there were men who were designated by name to distribute portions to every male among the priests and to everyone genealogically enrolled among the Levites.
