1
And when this celebration was finished, all of Israel that was present went out to the cities of Judah and smashed the sacred pillars and cut down the Asherah poles and tore down the high places and the altars throughout all Judah and Benjamin, and in Ephraim and Manasseh, until everything was destroyed. Then all Israel returned to their cities, each man to his own possession.
2
And Hezekiah set up the divisions of the priests and Levites according to their divisions, each man as he worked among the priests and Levites for burnt and fellowship offerings, to serve, give thanks, and offer praise at the gates of the camp of the Lord.
3
And the portion of the king that came from his own possessions was for burnt offerings, those given in the morning and evening, and those given for Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts, as written in the Law of the Lord.
4
And he ordered those people living in Jerusalem to give a portion for the priests and Levites, in order for them to devote themselves to the Law of the Lord.
5
And when the command spread, the Israelites gave generously the firstfruits of grain, wine, oil, honey, and all the produce of the field. And they brought in abundance one-tenth of everything.
6
And the Israelites and Judahites and all who dwelt in the cities of Judah also brought in one-tenth of cattle and sheep, and one-tenth of the consecrated items that were to the Lord their God, and brought them in and set them in great piles.
7
In the third month they began to assign the piles of contribution, and they finished in the seventh month.
8
When Hezekiah and the officials saw the contribution piles, they blessed the Lord and His people Israel.
9
Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and Levites regarding the contribution piles.
10
Azariah the chief priest from the house of Zadok said, “Since they began to bring the contributions into the house of the Lord, there has been plenty of food and a large amount left over. For the Lord has blessed His people, and this great abundance is left over.”
11
Then Hezekiah ordered them to prepare chambers in the house of the Lord, and they did this.
12
They reliably brought in the contributions, tenth portions, and consecrated items. The leader over them was Konaniah the Levite, and Shimei his brother was second to him.
13
And Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismakiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were supervisors under Konaniah and Shimei his brother by the appointment of Hezekiah the king and Azariah the leader of the house of God.
14
And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite was gatekeeper for the East Gate and over the voluntary offerings to God, to designate the contributions of the Lord and most holy offerings.
15
Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah reliably assisted him in the cities of the priests to distribute the portions to their brothers by division, both great and small.
16
Besides those males registered from three years old and above, they distributed to all who entered into the house of the Lord his daily portion, for their services according to their duties and their divisions.
17
The registration of the priests was according to the house of their fathers and the Levites from twenty years and above, according to their duties and their divisions.
18
They were registered with all their little children, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, the entire assembly, for they consecrated themselves in faithfulness.
19
Also for the sons of Aaron, the priests, who were in the fields of common land of their cities, there were men in each city who were designated by name to allocate portions to every male among the priests and to everyone who was registered by genealogy among the Levites.
20
Hezekiah did this throughout all Judah, and he did what was good and just and faithful before the Lord his God.
21
And in every deed that he undertook in the service of the house of God and with the law and commandment to seek out his God, he did this with all his heart, and he found success.
