2 CHR 31 ©

31After all this was over, all Israel who had been present marched off to the towns of Judah, demolishing the obelisks, cutting down the sacred poles, and destroying the shrines and altars all over Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, till they had made an end of them all. Whereupon the men of Israel all went back to their towns, every man to his own home.

2Hezekiah re-established the divisions of the priests and Levites, each in his due position, for burnt-offerings, for recompense-offerings, for the service of thanks and praise, and for guarding the gates at the camp of the Eternal. 3He also fixed the amount to be contributed to the king for the burnt-offerings, the morning and evening burnt-offerings, as well as the burnt-offerings for the sabbaths, the new moon festivals, and the regular festivals, as laid down in the law of the Eternal. 4He ordered the citizens of Jerusalem to provide the supplies for the priests and the Levites, that they might devote themselves to the law of the Eternal.

5When these orders were issued, the Israelites contributed richly the first-fruits of corn, wine, oil, honey, and all their crops; they also brought in a full tithe of everything. 6The men of Israel and Judah who lived in the towns of Judah also brought in a tithe of oxen and sheep, and votive offerings consecrated to the Eternal their God, which they piled up; 7they laid the foundation of the piles in the third month and finished them in the seventh month. 8When Hezekiah and the nobles came and saw the piles, they blessed the Eternal and his people Israel. 9Hezekiah asked the priests and the Levites about the piles, 10and Azariah the high priest, who was a Zadokite, replied, “Ever since the people began to bring their offerings into the temple of the Eternal, we have had enough to eat and have plenty left over. The Eternal has blessed his people, and we have this great heap of stores left.” 11Then Hezekiah ordered rooms to be got ready in the temple of the Eternal; the rooms were got ready, 12and they duly carried in the offerings, the tithes, and the votive gifts.

13Their inspector was Conaniah the Levite, assisted by his brother Shimei; Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismakjahu, Ma- hath, and Benaiah were the foremen, under Conaniah and his brother Shimei, by order of king Hezekiah and of Azaziah who superintended the temple of God. 14Kore the son of Imnah 14 the Levite, who was warder at the east gate, looked after the freewill offerings to God, distributing what was reserved for the Eternal, and also the sacred portions. 15Under him Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shekaniah officiated in the towns of the Levites, distributing faithfully to their fellows, division by division, to old and young alike 16(except, that is, to any males registered from three years old and upwards, who were on duty in the temple of the Eternal, as each day might require them, to serve in their respective offices, by divisions). 17The list of priests was prepared in order of their families; the Levites were registered from twenty years and upwards by their divisions for service. 18This was for the purpose of registering all their children, their wives and boys and girls, throughout the community. They duly devoted themselves to the sacred task. 19And in every town there were officials specially named to look after the Aaronite priests who lived in the country districts of the towns, to distribute supplies to all males among the priests and all entered on the register of the Levites.

20This was Hezekiah’s policy all over Judah. His actions were good and right and loyal before the Eternal his God; 21whatever he undertook in the interests of the temple of God, the law, and the commands of God, by way of worshipping his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.
