2 Chronicles 31:2-21

2And Hezekiah appointed 1the divisions of the priests and the Levites by their divisions, each according to his service, both the priests and the Levites, 2for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister and to give thanks and to praise in the gates of the camp of the Lord. 3He also appointed 3the king’s portion of his goods for the burnt offerings, namely, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths and for the new moons and for the fixed festivals, 4as it is written in the law of the Lord. 4Also he 5commanded the people who lived in Jerusalem to give 6the portion due to the priests and the Levites, that they might devote themselves to 7the law of the Lord. 5As soon as the 8order spread, the sons of Israel provided in abundance the first fruits of grain, new wine, oil, honey and of all the produce of the field; and they brought in abundantly 9the tithe of all. 6The sons of Israel and Judah who lived in the cities of Judah also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and 10the tithe of 11sacred gifts which were consecrated to the Lord their God, and placed them in heaps. 7In the third month they began to 12make the heaps, and finished them by the seventh month. 8When Hezekiah and the rulers came and saw the heaps, they blessed the Lord and 13His people Israel. 9Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps. 10Azariah the chief priest 14of the house of Zadok said to 15him, “16Since the contributions began to be brought into the house of the Lord, we have had enough to eat with plenty left over, for the Lord has blessed His people, and this great quantity is left over.”

11Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare 17rooms 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 18of them and his brother Shimei was second. 13Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath and Benaiah were overseers 19under the authority of Conaniah and Shimei his brother by the appointment of King Hezekiah, and 20Azariah 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. 1521Under his authority were 22Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah and Shecaniah in 23the 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 2425thirty years old and upward--everyone who entered the house of the Lord 26for 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 27from twenty years old and upwards, by their duties and their divisions. 18The genealogical enrollment included 28all their little children, their wives, their sons and their daughters, for the whole assembly, for they consecrated themselves 29faithfully in holiness. 19Also for the sons of Aaron the priests who were in 30the pasture lands of their cities, or in each and every city, 31there were men who were designated by name to distribute portions to every male among the priests and to everyone genealogically enrolled among the Levites.

20Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah; and 32he did what was good, right and true before the Lord his God. 21Every work which he began in the service of the house of God in law and in commandment, seeking his God, he did with all his heart and 33prospered.
