[1] Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and broke the pillars in pieces, cut down the Asherah poles, and broke down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, also in Ephraim 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] Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites after their divisions, every man according to his service, both the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of Yahweh’s camp. [3] He also appointed the king’s portion of his possessions for the burnt offerings: for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths, for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in Yahweh’s law. [4] Moreover he commanded the people who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to Yahweh’s law. [5] As soon as the commandment went out, the children of Israel gave in abundance the first fruits of grain, new wine, oil, honey, and of all the increase of the field; and they brought in the tithe of all things abundantly. [6] The children of Israel and Judah, who lived in the cities of Judah, also brought in the tithe of cattle and sheep, and the tithe of dedicated things which were consecrated to Yahweh their God, and laid them in heaps. [7] In the third month, they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month. [8] When Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed Yahweh and his people Israel. [9] Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites about the heaps. [10] Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said, “Since people began to bring the offerings into Yahweh’s house, we have eaten and had enough, and have plenty left over, for Yahweh has blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.” [11] Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare rooms in Yahweh’s house, and they prepared them. [12] They brought in the offerings, the tithes, and the dedicated things faithfully. Conaniah the Levite was ruler over them, and Shimei his brother was second. [13] Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, 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 God’s house. [14] Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the gatekeeper at the east gate, was over the free will offerings of God, to distribute Yahweh’s offerings and the most holy things. [15] Under him were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their office of trust, to give to their brothers by divisions, to the great as well as to the small; [16] in addition to those who were listed by genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even everyone who entered into Yahweh’s house, as the duty of every day required, for their service in their offices according to their divisions; [17] and those who were listed by genealogy of the priests by their fathers’ houses, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their offices by their divisions; [18] and those who were listed by genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation; for in their office of trust they sanctified themselves in holiness. [19] Also for the sons of Aaron the priests, who were in the fields of the pasture lands of their cities, in every city, there were men who were mentioned by name to give portions to all the males among the priests and to all who were listed by genealogy among the Levites. [20] Hezekiah did so throughout all Judah; and he did that which was good, right, and faithful before Yahweh his God. [21] In every work that he began in the service of God’s house, in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart and prospered.
King James Version
[1] Now when all this was finished, H3615 all H3605 Israel H3478 that were present H4672§ went out H3318 to the cities H5892 of Judah, H3063 and brake H7665 the images H4676§ in pieces, H7665 and cut down H1438 the groves, H842 and threw down H5422 H853 the high places H1116 and the altars H4196 out of all Judah H3063 and Benjamin, H1144 in Ephraim H669 also and Manasseh, H4519 until H5704 they had utterly destroyed H3615§ them all. Then all the children H1121 of Israel H3478 returned, H7725 every H3605 man H376 to his possession, H272 into their own cities. H5892 [2] And Hezekiah H3169 appointed H5975 the courses H4256 of the priests H3548 and the Levites H3881 after their courses, H4256 every man H376 according H6310 to his service, H5656 the priests H3548 and Levites H3881 for burnt offerings H5930 and for peace offerings, H8002 to minister, H8334 and to give thanks, H3034 and to praise H1984 in the gates H8179 of the tents H4264 of the Lord. H3068 [3] He appointed also the king’s H4428 portion H4521 of his substance H7399 for the burnt offerings, H5930 to wit, for the morning H1242 and evening H6153 burnt offerings, H5930 and the burnt offerings H5930 for the sabbaths, H7676 and for the new moons, H2320 and for the set feasts, H4150 as it is written H3789 in the law H8451 of the Lord. H3068 [4] Moreover he commanded H559 the people H5971 that dwelt H3427 in Jerusalem H3389 to give H5414 the portion H4521 of the priests H3548 and the Levites, H3881 that they might be encouraged H2388 in the law H8451 of the Lord.

Encouraged the People

[5] And as soon as the commandment H1697 came abroad, H6555§ the children H1121 of Israel H3478 brought H935 in abundance H7235 the firstfruits H7225 of corn, H1715 wine, H8492 and oil, H3323 and honey, H1706§ and of all the increase H8393 of the field; H7704 and the tithe H4643 of all things brought H935 they in abundantly. H7230 [6] And concerning the children H1121 of Israel H3478 and Judah, H3063 that dwelt H3427 in the cities H5892 of Judah, H3063 they also brought in H935 the tithe H4643 of oxen H1241 and sheep, H6629 and the tithe H4643 of holy things H6944 which were consecrated H6942 unto the Lord H3068 their God, H430 and laid H5414 them by heaps. H6194§ H6194 [7] In the third H7992 month H2320 they began H2490 to lay the foundation H3245 of the heaps, H6194 and finished H3615 them in the seventh H7637 month. H2320 [8] And when Hezekiah H3169 and the princes H8269 came H935 and saw H7200 H853 the heaps, H6194 they blessed H1288 H853 the Lord, H3068 and his people H5971 Israel. H3478 [9] Then Hezekiah H3169 questioned H1875 with the priests H3548 and the Levites H3881 concerning H5921 the heaps. H6194 [10] And Azariah H5838 the chief H7218 priest H3548 of the house H1004 of Zadok H6659 answered H559 him, and said, H559 Since the people began H2490 to bring H935 the offerings H8641 into the house H1004 of the Lord, H3068 we have had enough H7646 to eat, H398 and have left H3498 plenty: H7230 for H3588 the Lord H3068 hath blessed H1288 H853 his people; H5971 and that which is left H3498 H853 is this great store. H1995 [11] Then Hezekiah H3169 commanded H559 to prepare H3559 chambers H3957§ in the house H1004 of the Lord; H3068 and they prepared H3559 them, [12] and brought in H935 H853 the offerings H8641 and the tithes H4643 and the dedicated H6944 things faithfully: H530 over H5921 which Cononiah H3562 the Levite H3881 was ruler, H5057 and Shimei H8096 his brother H251 was the next. H4932 [13] And Jehiel, H3171 and Azaziah, H5812 and Nahath, H5184 and Asahel, H6214 and Jerimoth, H3406 and Jozabad, H3107 and Eliel, H447 and Ismachiah, H3253 and Mahath, H4287 and Benaiah, H1141 were overseers H6496 under the hand H3027§ of Cononiah H3562 and Shimei H8096 his brother, H251 at the commandment H4662 of Hezekiah H3169 the king, H4428 and Azariah H5838 the ruler H5057 of the house H1004 of God. H430 [14] And Kore H6981 the son H1121 of Imnah H3232 the Levite, H3881 the porter H7778 toward the east, H4217 was over the freewill offerings H5071 of God, H430 to distribute H5414 the oblations H8641 of the Lord, H3068 and the most H6944 holy things. H6944 [15] And next him§ were Eden, H5731 and Miniamin, H4509 and Jeshua, H3442 and Shemaiah, H8098 Amariah, H568 and Shecaniah, H7935 in the cities H5892 of the priests, H3548 in their set office,§ H530 to give H5414 to their brethren H251 by H3027 courses, H4256 as well to the great H1419 as to the small: H6996 [16] beside their genealogy H3187 of males, H2145 from three H7969 years H8141 old H1121 and upward, H4605 even unto every one that entereth H935 into the house H1004 of the Lord, H3068 his daily H3117 H3117 portion H1697 for their service H5656 in their charges H4931 according to their courses; H4256 [17] both to the genealogy H3187 of the priests H3548 by the house H1004 of their fathers, H1 and the Levites H3881 from twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 and upward, H4605 in their charges H4931 by their courses; H4256 [18] and to the genealogy H3187 of all their little ones, H2945 their wives, H802 and their sons, H1121 and their daughters, H1323 through all the congregation: H6951 for H3588 in their set office H530§ they sanctified H6942 themselves in holiness: H6944 [19] also of the sons H1121 of Aaron H175 the priests, H3548 which were in the fields H7704 of the suburbs H4054 of their cities, H5892 in every several city, H5892 the men H582 that were expressed H5344 by name, H8034 to give H5414 portions H4490 to all the males H2145 among the priests, H3548 and to all that were reckoned by genealogies H3187 among the Levites. H3881 [20] And thus did H6213 Hezekiah H3169 throughout all Judah, H3063 and wrought H6213 that which was good H2896 and right H3477 and truth H571 before H6440 the Lord H3068 his God. H430 [21] And in every work H4639 that he began H2490 in the service H5656 of the house H1004 of God, H430 and in the law, H8451 and in the commandments, H4687 to seek H1875 his God, H430 he did H6213 it with all his heart, H3824 and prospered.
