2 Chronicles 31:1-10

1Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah, 1broke the memorial stones in pieces, cut down the 2Asherim and pulled down the high places and the altars throughout Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, until 3they had destroyed them all. Then all the sons of Israel returned to their cities, each to his possession.

2And Hezekiah appointed 4the divisions of the priests and the Levites by their divisions, each according to his service, both the priests and the Levites, 5for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to serve and to give thanks and to praise in the gates of the camp of the Lord. 3He also appointed 6the king’s portion of his property 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 appointed festivals, 7as it is written in the Law of the Lord. 4Also he told the people who lived in Jerusalem to give 8the portion due to the priests and the Levites, so that they might devote themselves to 9the Law of the Lord. 5As soon as the 10order spread, the sons of Israel abundantly provided the first fruits of grain, new wine, oil, honey, and of all the produce of the field; and they brought in abundantly 11the tithe of everything. 6The sons of Israel and Judah who lived in the cities of Judah also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and 12the tithe of 13sacred gifts which were consecrated to the Lord their God, and placed them in heaps. 7In the third month they began to 14make the heaps, and they finished them by the seventh month. 8When Hezekiah and the rulers came and saw the heaps, they blessed the Lord and 15His people Israel. 9Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps. 10Azariah, the chief priest 16of the house of Zadok, said to 17him, “18Since the contributions started coming 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.”
