2 Chronicles 31

1Now when allH3605 this was finishedH3615, allH3605 IsraelH3478 that were presentH4672 wentH3318 outH3318 to the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and brake in piecesH7665 the pillarsH4676, and hewed downH5422 the AsherimH842, and brake downH5422 the highH1116 placesH1116 and the altarsH4196 outH3318 of allH3605 JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, in EphraimH669 also and ManassehH4519, untilH5704 they had destroyedH3615 them allH3605. Then allH3605 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 returnedH7725, everyH3605 manH376 to his possessionH272, intoH376 their ownH376 citiesH5892. 2And HezekiahH2396 appointedH5975 the courses of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 afterH5921 their courses, everyH376 manH376 accordingH5921 to his serviceH5656, bothH5921 the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, for burntH5930 offeringsH8002 and for peaceH8002 offeringsH8002, to ministerH8334, and to giveH3034 thanksH3034, and to praiseH1984 in the gatesH8179 of the campH4264 of the LORDH3068. 3He appointedH4150 also the king’sH4428 portionH4521 of his substance for the burntH5930 offeringsH4480, to wit, for the morningH1242 and eveningH6153 burntH5930 offeringsH4480, and the burntH5930 offeringsH4480 for the sabbathsH7676, and for the newH2320 moonsH2320, and for the setH4150 feastsH4150, as it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068. 4Moreover he commandedH559 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 the LORDH3068. 5And as soon as the commandmentH1697 cameH935 abroadH6555, the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 gaveH935 in abundanceH7230 the firstfruits of corn, wineH8492, and oilH3323, and honeyH1706, and of allH3605 the increaseH7235 of the fieldH7704; and the titheH4643 of allH3605 things broughtH935 they in abundantlyH7230. 6And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063, that dweltH3427 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, they also broughtH935 in the titheH4643 of oxenH1241 and sheepH6629, and the titheH4643 of dedicatedH6942 things which were consecratedH6942 unto the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and laidH5414 them by heapsH6194. 7In the thirdH7992 monthH2320 they beganH2490 to layH3245 the foundationH3245 of the heapsH6194, and finishedH3615 them in the seventhH7637 monthH2320. 8And when HezekiahH2396 and the princesH8269 cameH935 and sawH7200 the heapsH6194, they blessedH1288 the LORDH3068, and his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. 9Then HezekiahH2396 questionedH1875 with the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 concerning the heapsH6194. 10And AzariahH5838 the chiefH7218 priestH3548, of the houseH1004 of ZadokH6659, answeredH559 him and saidH559, SinceH3588 the peopleH5971 beganH2490 to bringH935 the oblations intoH413 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, weH3588 have eatenH398 and had enoughH7646, and have leftH3498 plentyH7646: for the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288 his peopleH5971; and that whichH2088 is leftH3498 is this greatH7230 store. 11Then HezekiahH2396 commandedH559 to prepareH3559 chambersH3957 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; and they preparedH3559 them. 12And they broughtH935 in the oblations and the tithesH4643 and the dedicatedH6944 things faithfullyH530: and over them ConaniahH3562 the LeviteH3881 was rulerH5057, and ShimeiH8096 his brotherH251 was secondH4932. 13And JehielH3171, and AzaziahH5812, and NahathH5184, and AsahelH6214, and JerimothH3406, and JozabadH3107, and ElielH447, and IsmachiahH3253, and MahathH4287, and BenaiahH1141, were overseersH6496 underH3027 the handH3027 of ConaniahH3562 and ShimeiH8096 his brotherH251, by the appointmentH4662 of HezekiahH2396 the kingH4428, and AzariahH5838 the rulerH5057 of the houseH1004 of GodH430. 14And KoreH6981 the sonH1121 of ImnahH3232 the LeviteH3881, the porter at the eastH4217 gate, was over the freewillH5071 offeringsH5071 of GodH430, to distributeH5414 the oblations of the LORDH3068, and the mostH6944 holyH6944 things. 15And underH5921 him were EdenH5731, and MiniaminH4509, and JeshuaH3442, and ShemaiahH8098, AmariahH568, and ShecaniahH7935, in the citiesH5892 of the priestsH3548, in their setH5414 office, to giveH5414 to their brethrenH251 by courses, as well to the greatH1419 as to the smallH6996: 16beside them that were reckoned by genealogyH3187 of malesH2145, from threeH7969 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, even everyH3605 one that enteredH935 intoH935 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, as the dutyH4931 of everyH3605 dayH3117 requiredH1697, for their serviceH5656 in their charges according to their courses; 17and them that were reckoned by genealogyH3188 of the priestsH3548 by their fathers’H1 housesH1004, and the LevitesH3881 from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, in their charges by their courses; 18and them that were reckoned by genealogyH3188 of allH3605 their littleH2945 onesH2945, their wivesH802, and their sonsH1121, and their daughtersH1323, throughH3605 allH3605 the congregationH6951: for in their setH6942 office they sanctifiedH6942 themselvesH6942 in holinessH6944: 19Also for the sonsH1121 of AaronH175 the priestsH3548, whichH834 were in the fieldsH7704 of the suburbs of their citiesH5892, in everyH3605 several cityH5892; there were menH376 that were expressed by nameH8034, to giveH5414 portionsH4490 to allH3605 the malesH2145 among the priestsH3548, and to allH3605 that were reckoned by genealogyH3187 among the LevitesH3881. 20And thus didH6213 HezekiahH2396 throughoutH3605 allH3605 JudahH3063; and he wrought that whichH3477 was goodH2896 and rightH3477 and faithfulH571 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 his GodH430. 21And in everyH3605 workH4639 that he beganH2490 in the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and in the lawH8451, and in the commandmentsH4687, to seekH1875 his GodH430, he didH6213 it with allH3605 his heartH3824, and prospered.
