2 Chronicles 31 (WEBP)

[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.

2 Chronicles 31 (KJVS)

[1] Now when all this was finished H3615 (8763), all Israel H3478 that were present H4672 (8737) went out H3318 (8804) to the cities H5892 of Judah H3063, and brake H7665 the images H4676 in pieces H7665 (8762), and cut down H1438 (8762) the groves H842, and threw down H5422 (8762) the high places H1116 and the altars H4196 out of all Judah H3063 and Benjamin H1144, in Ephraim H669 also and Manasseh H4519, until they had utterly destroyed H3615 (8763) them all. Then all the children H1121 of Israel H3478 returned H7725 (8799), every man H376 to his possession H272, into their own cities H5892.
[2] And Hezekiah H3169 appointed H5975 (8686) 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 (8763), and to give thanks H3034 (8687), and to praise H1984 (8763) 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 (8803) in the law H8451 of the LORD H3068.
[4] Moreover he commanded H559 (8799) the people H5971 that dwelt H3427 (8802) in Jerusalem H3389 to give H5414 (8800) the portion H4521 of the priests H3548 and the Levites H3881, that they might be encouraged H2388 (8799) in the law H8451 of the LORD H3068.
[5] And as soon as the commandment H1697 came abroad H6555 (8800), the children H1121 of Israel H3478 brought H935 (8689) in abundance H7235 (8689) 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 (8689) they in abundantly H7230.
[6] And [concerning] the children H1121 of Israel H3478 and Judah H3063, that dwelt H3427 (8802) in the cities H5892 of Judah H3063, they also brought in H935 (8689) the tithe H4643 of oxen H1241 and sheep H6629, and the tithe H4643 of holy things H6944 which were consecrated H6942 (8794) unto the LORD H3068 their God H430, and laid H5414 (8799) [them] by heaps H6194 H6194.
[7] In the third H7992 month H2320 they began H2490 (8689) to lay the foundation H3245 (8800) of the heaps H6194, and finished H3615 (8765) [them] in the seventh H7637 month H2320.
[8] And when Hezekiah H3169 and the princes H8269 came H935 (8799) and saw H7200 (8799) the heaps H6194, they blessed H1288 (8762) the LORD H3068, and his people H5971 Israel H3478.
[9] Then Hezekiah H3169 questioned H1875 (8799) with the priests H3548 and the Levites H3881 concerning the heaps H6194.
[10] And Azariah H5838 the chief H7218 priest H3548 of the house H1004 of Zadok H6659 answered H559 (8799) him, and said H559 (8799), Since [the people] began H2490 (8687) to bring H935 (8687) the offerings H8641 into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068, we have had enough H7646 (8800) to eat H398 (8800), and have left H3498 (8687) plenty H7230: for the LORD H3068 hath blessed H1288 (8765) his people H5971; and that which is left H3498 (8737) [is] this great store H1995.
[11] Then Hezekiah H3169 commanded H559 (8799) to prepare H3559 (8687) chambers H3957 in the house H1004 of the LORD H3068; and they prepared H3559 (8686) [them],
[12] And brought in H935 (8686) the offerings H8641 and the tithes H4643 and the dedicated H6944 [things] faithfully H530: over 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 (8800) 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 (8800) to their brethren H251 by H3027 courses H4256, as well to the great H1419 as to the small H6996:
[16] Beside their genealogy H3187 (8692) of males H2145, from three H7969 years H8141 old H1121 and upward H4605, [even] unto every one that entereth H935 (8802) 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 (8692) 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 (8692) of all their little ones H2945, their wives H802, and their sons H1121, and their daughters H1323, through all the congregation H6951: for in their set office H530 they sanctified H6942 (8691) 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 (8738) by name H8034, to give H5414 (8800) portions H4490 to all the males H2145 among the priests H3548, and to all that were reckoned by genealogies H3187 (8692) among the Levites H3881.
[20] And thus did H6213 (8799) Hezekiah H3169 throughout all Judah H3063, and wrought H6213 (8799) [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 (8689) in the service H5656 of the house H1004 of God H430, and in the law H8451, and in the commandments H4687, to seek H1875 (8800) his God H430, he did H6213 (8804) [it] with all his heart H3824, and prospered H6743 (8689).

Young’s Literal Translation

2 Chronicles 31 (YLT)

[1] And at the completion of all this, gone out have all Israel who are found present to the cities of Judah, and break the standing-pillars, and cut down the shrines, and break down the high places and the altars, out of all Judah and Benjamin, and in Ephraim and Manasseh, even to completion, and all the sons of Israel turn back, each to his Possession, to their cities.
[2] And Hezekiah appointeth the courses of the priests, and of the Levites, by their courses, each according to his service, of the priests and of the Levites, for burnt-offering, and for peace-offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to give praise in the gates of the camps of Jehovah.
[3] And a portion of the king, from his substance, is for burnt-offerings, for burnt-offerings of the morning, and of the evening, and the burnt-offerings of sabbaths, and of new moons, and of appointed seasons, as it is written in the law of Jehovah.
[4] And he saith to the people, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to give the portion of the priests, and of the Levites, so that they are strengthened in the law of Jehovah;
[5] and at the spreading forth of the thing have the sons of Israel multiplied the first-fruit of corn, new wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field, and the tithe of the whole in abundance they have brought in.
[6] And the sons of Israel and Judah, those dwelling in cities of Judah, they also a tithe of herd and flock, and a tithe of the holy things that are sanctified to Jehovah their God, have brought in, and they give-heaps, heaps;
[7] in the third month they have begun to lay the foundation of the heaps, and in the seventh month they have finished.
[8] And Hezekiah and the heads come in and see the heaps, and bless Jehovah and His people Israel,
[9] and Hezekiah inquireth at the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps,
[10] and Azariah the head priest, of the house of Zadok, speaketh unto him, and saith, ‘From the beginning of the bringing of the heave-offering to the house of Jehovah, there is to eat, and to be satisfied, and to leave abundantly, for Jehovah hath blessed His people, and that left is this store.’
[11] And Hezekiah saith to prepare chambers in the house of Jehovah, and they prepare,
[12] and they bring in the heave-offering, and the tithe, and the holy things faithfully; and over them is a leader, Conaniah the Levite, and Shimei his brother is second;
[13] and Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, are inspectors under the hand of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah leader of the house of God.
[14] And Kore son of Imnah the Levite, the gatekeeper at the east, is over the willing-offerings of God, to give the heave-offering of Jehovah, and the most holy things.
[15] And by his hand are Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shechaniah, in cities of the priests, faithfully to give to their brethren in courses, as the great so the small,
[16] apart from their genealogy, to males from a son of three years and upward, to every one who hath gone in to the house of Jehovah, by the matter of a day in its day, for their service in their charges, according to their courses;
[17] and the genealogy of the priests by the house of their fathers, and of the Levites, from a son of twenty years and upward, in their charges, in their courses;
[18] and to the genealogy among all their infants, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters to all the congregation, for in their faithfulness they sanctify themselves in holiness.
[19] And to sons of Aaron, the priests, in the fields of the suburb of their cities, in every city and city, are men who have been defined by name, to give portions to every male among the priests, and to every one who reckoned himself by genealogy among the Levites.
[20] And Hezekiah doth thus in all Judah, and doth that which is good, and that which is right, and that which is true, before Jehovah his God;
[21] and in every work that he hath begun for the service of the house of God, and for the law, and for the command, to seek to his God, with all his heart he hath wrought and prospered.
