2CH-31:1 Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were
present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in
pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places
and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also
and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then
all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession,
into their own cities.
2CH-31:2 And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and
the Levites after their courses, every man according to his
service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and for
peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise
in the gates of the tents of the LORD.
2CH-31:3 [He appointed] also the king's portion of his substance
for the burnt offerings, [to wit], for the morning and evening
burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and
for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as [it is] written in
the law of the LORD.
2CH-31:4 Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in
Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites,
that they might be encouraged in the law of the LORD.
2CH-31:5 And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the
children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of corn,
wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field;
and the tithe of all [things] brought they in abundantly.
2CH-31:6 And [concerning] the children of Israel and Judah, that
dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of
oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were
consecrated unto the LORD their God, and laid [them] by heaps.
2CH-31:7 In the third month they began to lay the foundation of
the heaps, and finished [them] in the seventh month.
2CH-31:8 And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the
heaps, they blessed the LORD, and his people Israel.
2CH-31:9 Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the
Levites concerning the heaps.
2CH-31:10 And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok
answered him, and said, Since [the people] began to bring the
offerings into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat,
and have left plenty: for the LORD hath blessed his people; and
that which is left [is] this great store.
2CH-31:11 Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the
house of the LORD; and they prepared [them],
2CH-31:12 And brought in the offerings and the tithes and the
dedicated [things] faithfully: over which Cononiah the Levite
[was] ruler, and Shimei his brother [was] the next.
2CH-31:13 And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and
Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and
Benaiah, [were] overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei
his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king, and
Azariah the ruler of the house of God.
2CH-31:14 And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter
toward the east, [was] over the freewill offerings of God, to
distribute the oblations of the LORD, and the most holy things.
2CH-31:15 And next him [were] Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua,
and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the
priests, in [their] set office, to give to their brethren by
courses, as well to the great as to the small:
2CH-31:16 Beside their genealogy of males, from three years old
and upward, [even] unto every one that entereth into the house
of the LORD, his daily portion for their service in their
charges according to their courses;
2CH-31:17 Both to the genealogy of the priests by the house of
their fathers, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward,
in their charges by their courses;
2CH-31:18 And to the genealogy of all their little ones, their
wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the
congregation: for in their set office they sanctified themselves
in holiness:
2CH-31:19 Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, [which were] in
the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every several city,
the men that were expressed by name, to give portions to all
the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by
genealogies among the Levites. ] 2CH-31:20 And thus did Hezekiah
throughout all Judah, and wrought [that which was] good and
right and truth before the LORD his God.
2CH-31:21 And in every work that he began in the service of the
house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek
his God, he did [it] with all his heart, and prospered.
