who
were
present
went out to the cities of Judah ,
and broke in
pieces
the pillars, and
hewed
down the Asherim
, and broke
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
.
When all this had
ended
, the
Israelites
in
attendance
went out to the cities of Judah and broke up
the sacred
pillars, chopped
down the Asherah
poles
, and tore
down the high places and altars throughout
Judah and Benjamin, as
well
as
in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had utterly
destroyed them all. Then all the Israelites
returned to
their
cities
, each
to his own property
.
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
, and
to
give
thanks, and to
praise
in
the gates of the camp
of
Yahweh
.
Hezekiah reestablished
the divisions of the priests and Levites —each

as

for the
burnt offerings and peace offerings, for
ministry
, for
giving
thanks, and for
singing
praises
at
the gates of the LORD’s
dwelling

appointed]
also
the king's
portion
of
his substance
for
the
burnt-offerings,
[to
wit],

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 Yahweh
.

lived
in Jerusalem to give
the
portion
of
the priests and the

.
Moreover ,
he commanded the people living
in Jerusalem to make

came
abroad
, the children
of
Israel
gave
in
abundance
the first
fruits
of grain, new wine, and
oil, and honey, and of all the increase
of the field ;
and the
tithe
of
all
things
brought
they in abundantly
.
As soon as the order
went
out
, the Israelites
generously
provided

grain, new wine, oil, and honey, and of all the produce
of the field ,

in an
abundance—a
tithe
of
everything
.

of
Israel
and Judah,
who lived in the cities of Judah ,
they
also brought in
the
tithe of oxen

and the
tithe of dedicated
things which
were
consecrated to Yahweh
their God, and laid them by
heaps.
And
the Israelites
and Judahites
who lived in the cities of Judah also brought a
tithe of their
herds
and flocks
and a
tithe of the
holy
things consecrated to the
LORD
their God, and they
laid them in
large
heaps.
In the third month they began to
lay
the
foundation
of
the heaps, and finished them
in the seventh month.

up
the heaps, and they
finished in the seventh month.

princes
came and saw
the heaps, they blessed Yahweh,
and his people Israel.

officials
came and viewed
the heaps, they blessed the
LORD
and His people Israel.
Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the
Levites concerning
the heaps .
Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and Levites about
the heaps ,
Azariah the chief priest ,
of the house
of Zadok, answered him and
said
, Since [
the people ]
began to bring the
offerings
into the house of Yahweh
, we have eaten
and
had enough ,
and have
left
plenty :
for
Yahweh
has blessed his people; and
that
which
is
left
is
this great store
.
and
Azariah ,
the chief priest of the household
of Zadok, answered him, “
Since the people began to bring their
contributions
into the house of the
LORD
, we have had enough to
eat
and there
is
plenty left
over,
because
the
LORD
has blessed His people; this great abundance
is
what
is
left
over
. ”
Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers
in the house of Yahweh;
and they prepared
them
.
Then Hezekiah commanded them
to prepare storerooms
in the house of the
LORD,
and they did
so
.

dedicated things
faithfully:
and
over
them

, and Shimei
his brother was second.

Under him
were
Eden, and
Miniamin, and
Jeshua, and
Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah ,
in
the
cities
of
the
priests ,
in their office
of
trust
, to
give
to their brothers
by
divisions, as
well
to
the
great
as
to
the
small:
Under his
authority,
Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah faithfully
distributed
portions
to
their
fellow
priests in their cities
, according
to their divisions, old
and
young
alike.
besides
those
who
were
reckoned
by genealogy of
males,
from
three years old
and
upward,
even
everyone
who entered
into
the house of Yahweh,
as
the duty
of
every
day
required,
for their service in their
offices
according
to
their divisions ;
In
addition,
they
distributed
portions
to
the
males
registered
by genealogy who
were
three years of
age
or
older—to
all
who would
enter
the house of the LORD
for their daily
duties
for
service in the
responsibilities
of
their divisions —
and those
who
were
reckoned
by
genealogy
of
the priests by
their fathers'
houses
, and
the Levites from
twenty years old
and
upward
, in
their
offices
by
their divisions ;
and to
the priests enrolled
according
to
their families
in
the
genealogy
, as
well
as
to
the Levites twenty years of
age
or
older
, according
to
their duties
and
divisions .
and
those
who
were
reckoned
by
genealogy of
all their
little ones, their
wives, and
their
sons, and their
daughters ,
through
all
the congregation:
for in
their
office
of
trust
they sanctified
themselves in
holiness
.
The
genealogy included
all the
little ones, wives, sons, and daughters in
the whole
assembly.
For they had
faithfully
consecrated
themselves as
holy
.
Also
for the sons
of
Aaron
the
priests, who
were
in
the fields
of the suburbs
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
reckoned
by genealogy
among
the Levites
.
As
for the priests, the descendants
of Aaron,
who
lived
on
the farmlands
around
each
of their cities or
in any
other
city, men were designated
by name to distribute
a
portion
to every
male
among the priests and to every
Levite
listed
by the genealogies
.
Thus
did
Hezekiah throughout all
Judah ;
and
he worked
that
which
was good and right
and faithful
before Yahweh
his God.
So
this
is
what
Hezekiah did
throughout Judah .
He did
what
was good and upright
and true
before the
LORD
his God.
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.
He
was
diligent
in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law and the commandments, in
order
to seek his God .
And so
he
prospered.
