31Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah, broke the pillars in pieces, cut down the Asherim, and pulled down the high places and the altars throughout all Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the sons of Israel returned to their cities, each to his possession.H3615H3478H4672H3318H5892H3063H7665H4676H7665H1438H842H5422H1116H4196H3063H1144H669H4519H3615H1121H3478H7725H376H272H5892 2And Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites by their divisions, each according to his service, [both] the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister and to give thanks and to praise in the gates of the camp of the LORD.H3169H5975H4256H3548H3881H4256H376H6310H5656H3548H3881H5930H8002H8334H3034H1984H8179H4264H3068 3[He] also [appointed] the 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, as it is written in the law of the LORD.H4428H4521H7399H5930H1242H6153H5930H5930H7676H2320H4150H3789H8451H3068 4Also he commanded the people who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion due to the priests and the Levites, that they might devote themselves to the law of the LORD.H559H5971H3427H3389H5414H4521H3548H3881H2388H8451H3068 5And as soon as the order 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 the tithe of all.H1697H6555H1121H3478H935H7235H7225H1715H8492H3323H1706H8393H7704H4643H935H7230 6And the sons of Israel and Judah who lived in the cities of Judah, also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of sacred gifts which were consecrated to the LORD their God, and placed [them] in heaps.H1121H3478H3063H3427H5892H3063H935H4643H1241H6629H4643H6944H6942H3068H430H5414H6194H6194 7In the third month they began to make the heaps, and finished [them] by the seventh month.H7992H2320H2490H3245H6194H3615H7637H2320 8And when Hezekiah and the rulers came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD and His people Israel.H3169H8269H935H7200H6194H1288H3068H5971H3478 9Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.H3169H1875H3548H3881H6194 10And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok said to him, "Since 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."H5838H7218H3548H1004H6659H559H559H2490H935H8641H1004H3068H7646H398H3498H7230H3068H1288H5971H3498H1995 11Then Hezekiah commanded [them] to prepare rooms in the house of the LORD, and they prepared [them.]H3169H559H3559H3957H1004H3068H3559 12And they faithfully brought in the contributions and the tithes and the consecrated things; and Conaniah the Levite [was] the officer in charge of them and his brother Shimei [was] second.H935H8641H4643H6944H530H3562H3881H5057H8096H251H4932 13And Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah [were] overseers under the authority of Conaniah and Shimei his brother by the appointment of King Hezekiah, and Azariah [was] the [chief] officer of the house of God.H3171H5812H5184H6214H3406H3107H447H3253H4287H1141H6496H3027H3562H8096H251H4662H3169H4428H5838H5057H1004H430 14And Kore 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.H6981H1121H3232H3881H7778H4217H5071H430H5414H8641H3068H6944H6944 15And under his authority [were] Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah in the cities of the priests, to distribute faithfully [their portions] to their brothers by divisions, whether great or small,H5731H4509H3442H8098H568H7935H5892H3548H530H5414H251H3027H4256H1419H6996 16without regard to their genealogical enrollment, to the males from thirty years old and upward— everyone who entered the house of the LORD for his daily obligations— for their work in their duties according to their divisions;H3187H2145H7969H8141H1121H4605H935H1004H3068H3117H3117H1697H5656H4931H4256 17as well as the priests who were enrolled genealogically according to their fathers' households, and the Levites from twenty years old and upwards, by their duties [and] their divisions.H3187H3548H1004H1H3881H6242H8141H1121H4605H4931H4256 18And the genealogical enrollment [included] all their little children, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, for the whole assembly, for they consecrated themselves faithfully in holiness.H3187H2945H802H1121H1323H6951H530H6942H6944 19Also for the sons of Aaron the priests [who were] in the pasture lands of their cities, or in each and every city, [there were] men who were designated by name to distribute portions to every male among the priests and to everyone genealogically enrolled among the Levites.H1121H175H3548H7704H4054H5892H5892H582H5344H8034H5414H4490H2145H3548H3187H3881 20And thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah; and he did what [was] good, right, and true before the LORD his God.H6213H3169H3063H6213H2896H3477H571H6440H3068H430 21And every 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 prospered.H4639H2490H5656H1004H430H8451H4687H1875H430H6213H3824H6743
