1. Now when all this was finished[H3615], all Israel[H3478] that were present[H4672] went out[H3318] to the cities[H5892] of Judah[H3063], and brake[H7665] in pieces[H7665] the pillars[H4676], and hewed down[H1438] the Asherim[H842], and brake down[H5422] 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 destroyed[H3615] them all[H1121]. Then all the children of Israel[H3478] returned[H7725], every 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], both the priests[H3548] and the Levites[H3881], for burnt-offerings[H5930] and for peace-offerings[H5930], to minister[H8334], and to give thanks[H3034], and to praise[H1984] in the gates[H8179] of the camp[H4264] of Jehovah[H3068].

3. He appointed also the king[H4428]'s portion[H4521] of his substance[H7399] for the burnt-offerings[H5930], to wit[H1242], for the morning 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 Jehovah[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 give[H2388] themselves to the law[H8451] of Jehovah[H3068].

5. And as soon as the commandment[H1697] came abroad[H6555], the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] gave[H935] in abundance[H7235] the first-fruits[H7225] of grain[H1715], new 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 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 dedicated things[H6944] which were consecrated[H6942] unto Jehovah[H3068] their God[H430], and laid[H5414] them by heaps[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] the heaps[H6194], they blessed[H1288] Jehovah[H3068], and his people[H5971] Israel[H3478].

9. Then Hezekiah[H3169] questioned[H1875] 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] him and said[H559], Since the people began[H2490] to bring[H935] the oblations[H8641] into the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068], we have eaten[H398] and had enough[H7646], and have left[H3498] plenty[H7230]: for Jehovah[H3068] hath blessed[H1288] his people[H5971]; and that which is left[H3498] is this great store[H1995].

11. Then Hezekiah[H3169] commanded[H559] to prepare[H3559] chambers[H3957] in the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068]; and they prepared them[H3559].

12. And they brought in[H935] the oblations[H8641] and the tithes[H4643] and the dedicated[H6944] things faithfully[H530]: and over them Conaniah[H3562] the Levite[H3881] was ruler[H5057], and Shimei[H8096] his brother[H251] was second[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 Conaniah[H3562] and Shimei[H8096] his brother[H251], by the appointment[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] at the east[H4217] gate[H5071], was over the freewill-offerings of God[H430], to distribute[H5414] the oblations[H8641] of Jehovah[H3068], and the most[H6944] holy things[H6944].

15. And under 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 office[H530] of trust[H5414], to give to their brethren[H251] by[H3027] courses[H4256], as well to the great[H1419] as to the small[H6996]:

16. besides them that were reckoned by genealogy[H3187] of males[H2145], from three[H7969] years[H8141] old[H1121] and upward[H4605], even every one that entered[H935] into the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068], as the duty of every day[H3117] required[H1697], for their service[H5656] in their offices[H4931] according to their courses[H4256];

17. and them that were reckoned by genealogy[H3187] of the priests[H3548] by their fathers[H1]' houses[H1004], and the Levites[H3881] from twenty[H6242] years[H8141] old[H1121] and upward[H4605], in their offices[H4931] by their courses[H4256];

18. and them that were reckoned by 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 in their office[H530] of trust they sanctified[H6942] themselves in holiness[H6944].

19. Also for the sons[H1121] of Aaron[H175] the priests[H3548], that were in the fields[H7704] of the suburbs[H4054] of their cities[H5892], in every city[H5892], there were men[H582] that were mentioned[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 genealogy[H3187] among the Levites[H3881].

20. And thus did[H6213] Hezekiah[H3169] throughout all Judah[H3063]; and he wrought[H6213] that which was good[H2896] and right[H3477] and faithful[H571] before[H6440] Jehovah[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[H6743].
