1 H3615 Now when all this was finished [H8763] H3478 , all Israel H4672 that were present [H8737] H3318 went out [H8804] H5892 to the cities H3063 of Judah H7665 , and brake H4676 the images H7665 in pieces [H8762] H1438 , and cut down [H8762] H842 the groves H5422 , and threw down [H8762] H1116 the high places H4196 and the altars H3063 out of all Judah H1144 and Benjamin H669 , in Ephraim H4519 also and Manasseh H3615 , until they had utterly destroyed [H8763] H1121 them all. Then all the children H3478 of Israel H7725 returned [H8799] H376 , every man H272 to his possession H5892 , into their own cities.

2 H3169 And Hezekiah H5975 appointed [H8686] H4256 the courses H3548 of the priests H3881 and the Levites H4256 after their courses H376 , every man H6310 according H5656 to his service H3548 , the priests H3881 and Levites H5930 for burnt offerings H8002 and for peace offerings H8334 , to minister [H8763] H3034 , and to give thanks [H8687] H1984 , and to praise [H8763] H8179 in the gates H4264 of the tents H3068 of the LORD.

3 H4428 He appointed also the king's H4521 portion H7399 of his substance H5930 for the burnt offerings H1242 , to wit, for the morning H6153 and evening H5930 burnt offerings H5930 , and the burnt offerings H7676 for the sabbaths H2320 , and for the new moons H4150 , and for the set feasts H3789 , as it is written [H8803] H8451 in the law H3068 of the LORD.

4 H559 Moreover he commanded [H8799] H5971 the people H3427 that dwelt [H8802] H3389 in Jerusalem H5414 to give [H8800] H4521 the portion H3548 of the priests H3881 and the Levites H2388 , that they might be encouraged [H8799] H8451 in the law H3068 of the LORD.

5 H1697 And as soon as the commandment H6555 came abroad [H8800] H1121 , the children H3478 of Israel H935 brought [H8689] H7235 in abundance [H8689] H7225 the firstfruits H1715 of corn H8492 , wine H3323 , and oil H1706 , and honey H8393 , and of all the increase H7704 of the field H4643 ; and the tithe H935 of all things brought [H8689] H7230 they in abundantly.

6 H1121 And concerning the children H3478 of Israel H3063 and Judah H3427 , that dwelt [H8802] H5892 in the cities H3063 of Judah H935 , they also brought in [H8689] H4643 the tithe H1241 of oxen H6629 and sheep H4643 , and the tithe H6944 of holy things H6942 which were consecrated [H8794] H3068 unto the LORD H430 their God H5414 , and laid [H8799] H6194 them by heaps H6194 .

7 H7992 In the third H2320 month H2490 they began [H8689] H3245 to lay the foundation [H8800] H6194 of the heaps H3615 , and finished [H8765] H7637 them in the seventh H2320 month.

8 H3169 And when Hezekiah H8269 and the princes H935 came [H8799] H7200 and saw [H8799] H6194 the heaps H1288 , they blessed [H8762] H3068 the LORD H5971 , and his people H3478 Israel.

9 H3169 Then Hezekiah H1875 questioned [H8799] H3548 with the priests H3881 and the Levites H6194 concerning the heaps.

10 H5838 And Azariah H7218 the chief H3548 priest H1004 of the house H6659 of Zadok H559 answered [H8799] H559 him, and said [H8799] H2490 , Since the people began [H8687] H935 to bring [H8687] H8641 the offerings H1004 into the house H3068 of the LORD H7646 , we have had enough [H8800] H398 to eat [H8800] H3498 , and have left [H8687] H7230 plenty H3068 : for the LORD H1288 hath blessed [H8765] H5971 his people H3498 ; and that which is left [H8737] H1995 is this great store.

11 H3169 Then Hezekiah H559 commanded [H8799] H3559 to prepare [H8687] H3957 chambers H1004 in the house H3068 of the LORD H3559 ; and they prepared [H8686] them,

12 H935 And brought in [H8686] H8641 the offerings H4643 and the tithes H6944 and the dedicated H530 things faithfully H3562 : over which Cononiah H3881 the Levite H5057 was ruler H8096 , and Shimei H251 his brother H4932 was the next.

13 H3171 And Jehiel H5812 , and Azaziah H5184 , and Nahath H6214 , and Asahel H3406 , and Jerimoth H3107 , and Jozabad H447 , and Eliel H3253 , and Ismachiah H4287 , and Mahath H1141 , and Benaiah H6496 , were overseers H3027 under the hand H3562 of Cononiah H8096 and Shimei H251 his brother H4662 , at the commandment H3169 of Hezekiah H4428 the king H5838 , and Azariah H5057 the ruler H1004 of the house H430 of God.

14 H6981 And Kore H1121 the son H3232 of Imnah H3881 the Levite H7778 , the porter H4217 toward the east H5071 , was over the freewill offerings H430 of God H5414 , to distribute [H8800] H8641 the oblations H3068 of the LORD H6944 , and the most H6944 holy things.

15 H5731 And next him were Eden H4509 , and Miniamin H3442 , and Jeshua H8098 , and Shemaiah H568 , Amariah H7935 , and Shecaniah H5892 , in the cities H3548 of the priests H530 , in their set office H5414 , to give [H8800] H251 to their brethren H3027 by H4256 courses H1419 , as well to the great H6996 as to the small:

16 H3187 Beside their genealogy [H8692] H2145 of males H7969 , from three H8141 years H1121 old H4605 and upward H935 , even unto every one that entereth [H8802] H1004 into the house H3068 of the LORD H3117 , his daily H3117 H1697 portion H5656 for their service H4931 in their charges H4256 according to their courses;

17 H3187 Both to the genealogy [H8692] H3548 of the priests H1004 by the house H1 of their fathers H3881 , and the Levites H6242 from twenty H8141 years H1121 old H4605 and upward H4931 , in their charges H4256 by their courses;

18 H3187 And to the genealogy [H8692] H2945 of all their little ones H802 , their wives H1121 , and their sons H1323 , and their daughters H6951 , through all the congregation H530 : for in their set office H6942 they sanctified [H8691] H6944 themselves in holiness:

19 H1121 Also of the sons H175 of Aaron H3548 the priests H7704 , which were in the fields H4054 of the suburbs H5892 of their cities H5892 , in every several city H582 , the men H5344 that were expressed [H8738] H8034 by name H5414 , to give [H8800] H4490 portions H2145 to all the males H3548 among the priests H3187 , and to all that were reckoned by genealogies [H8692] H3881 among the Levites.

20 H6213 And thus did [H8799] H3169 Hezekiah H3063 throughout all Judah H6213 , and wrought [H8799] H2896 that which was good H3477 and right H571 and truth H6440 before H3068 the LORD H430 his God.

21 H4639 And in every work H2490 that he began [H8689] H5656 in the service H1004 of the house H430 of God H8451 , and in the law H4687 , and in the commandments H1875 , to seek [H8800] H430 his God H6213 , he did [H8804] H3824 it with all his heart H6743 , and prospered [H8689] .

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake in pieces the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim, and brake down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities. ² And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, every man 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. 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. ⁴ Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to the law of the LORD. ⁵ And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel gave 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. ⁶ And 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 dedicated things which were consecrated unto the LORD their God, and laid them by heaps. ⁷ In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month. ⁸ And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD, and his people Israel. ⁹ Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps. ¹⁰ And Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said, Since [the people] began to bring the oblations into the house of the LORD, we have eaten and had enough, and have left plenty: for the LORD hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store. ¹¹ Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the LORD; and they prepared them. ¹² And they brought in the oblations and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: and over them Conaniah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was second. 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 Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of God. ¹⁴ And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter at the east [gate], was over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of the LORD, and the most holy things. ¹⁵ And under 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: ¹⁶ beside them that were reckoned by genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even every one that entered into the house of the LORD, as the duty of every day required, for their service in their charges according to their courses; ¹⁷ and them that were reckoned by genealogy of the priests by their fathers’ houses, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their courses; ¹⁸ and them that were reckoned by 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: ¹⁹ Also for the sons of Aaron the priests, which were in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every several city; there were men that were expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogy among the Levites. ²⁰ And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah; and he wrought that which was good and right and faithful before the LORD his God. 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.
