Now when all this was finishedH3615, all IsraelH3478 that were presentH4672 went outH3318 to the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and brakeH7665 the imagesH4676 in piecesH7665, and cut downH1438 the grovesH842, and threw downH5422 the high placesH1116 and the altarsH4196 out of all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, in EphraimH669 also and ManassehH4519, until they had utterly destroyedH3615 them all. Then all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 returnedH7725, every manH376 to his possessionH272, into their own citiesH5892. {present: Heb. found} {images: Heb. statues} {until…: Heb. until to make an end}
And HezekiahH3169 appointedH5975 the coursesH4256 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 after their coursesH4256, every manH376 accordingH6310 to his serviceH5656, the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 for burnt offeringsH5930 and for peace offeringsH8002, to ministerH8334, and to give thanksH3034, and to praiseH1984 in the gatesH8179 of the tentsH4264 of the LORDH3068.
He appointed also the king'sH4428 portionH4521 of his substanceH7399 for the burnt offeringsH5930, to wit, for the morningH1242 and eveningH6153 burnt offeringsH5930, and the burnt offeringsH5930 for the sabbathsH7676, and for the new moonsH2320, and for the set feastsH4150, as it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068.
Moreover he commandedH559 the peopleH5971 that dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389 to giveH5414 the portionH4521 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, that they might be encouragedH2388 in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068.
And as soon as the commandmentH1697 came abroadH6555, the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 broughtH935 in abundanceH7235 the firstfruitsH7225 of cornH1715, wineH8492, and oilH3323, and honeyH1706, and of all the increaseH8393 of the fieldH7704; and the titheH4643 of all things broughtH935 they in abundantlyH7230. {came…: Heb. brake forth} {honey: or, dates}
And concerning the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063, that dweltH3427 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, they also brought inH935 the titheH4643 of oxenH1241 and sheepH6629, and the titheH4643 of holy thingsH6944 which were consecratedH6942 unto the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and laidH5414 them by heapsH6194+H6194. {by heaps: Heb. heaps, heaps}
In the thirdH7992 monthH2320 they beganH2490 to lay the foundationH3245 of the heapsH6194, and finishedH3615 them in the seventhH7637 monthH2320.
And when HezekiahH3169 and the princesH8269 cameH935 and sawH7200 the heapsH6194, they blessedH1288 the LORDH3068, and his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.
Then HezekiahH3169 questionedH1875 with the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 concerning the heapsH6194.
And AzariahH5838 the chiefH7218 priestH3548 of the houseH1004 of ZadokH6659 answeredH559 him, and saidH559, Since the people beganH2490 to bringH935 the offeringsH8641 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, we have had enoughH7646 to eatH398, and have leftH3498 plentyH7230: for the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288 his peopleH5971; and that which is leftH3498 is this great storeH1995.
Then HezekiahH3169 commandedH559 to prepareH3559 chambersH3957 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; and they preparedH3559 them, {chambers: or, storehouses}
And brought inH935 the offeringsH8641 and the tithesH4643 and the dedicatedH6944 things faithfullyH530: over which CononiahH3562 the LeviteH3881 was rulerH5057, and ShimeiH8096 his brotherH251 was the nextH4932.
And JehielH3171, and AzaziahH5812, and NahathH5184, and AsahelH6214, and JerimothH3406, and JozabadH3107, and ElielH447, and IsmachiahH3253, and MahathH4287, and BenaiahH1141, were overseersH6496 under the handH3027 of CononiahH3562 and ShimeiH8096 his brotherH251, at the commandmentH4662 of HezekiahH3169 the kingH4428, and AzariahH5838 the rulerH5057 of the houseH1004 of GodH430. {under…: Heb. at the hand}
And KoreH6981 the sonH1121 of ImnahH3232 the LeviteH3881, the porterH7778 toward the eastH4217, was over the freewill offeringsH5071 of GodH430, to distributeH5414 the oblationsH8641 of the LORDH3068, and the mostH6944 holy thingsH6944.
And next him were EdenH5731, and MiniaminH4509, and JeshuaH3442, and ShemaiahH8098, AmariahH568, and ShecaniahH7935, in the citiesH5892 of the priestsH3548, in their set officeH530, to giveH5414 to their brethrenH251 byH3027 coursesH4256, as well to the greatH1419 as to the smallH6996: {next…: Heb. at his hand} {set…: or, trust}
Beside their genealogyH3187 of malesH2145, from threeH7969 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, even unto every one that enterethH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, his dailyH3117+H3117 portionH1697 for their serviceH5656 in their chargesH4931 according to their coursesH4256;
Both to the genealogyH3187 of the priestsH3548 by the houseH1004 of their fathersH1, and the LevitesH3881 from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, in their chargesH4931 by their coursesH4256;
And to the genealogyH3187 of all their little onesH2945, their wivesH802, and their sonsH1121, and their daughtersH1323, through all the congregationH6951: for in their set officeH530 they sanctifiedH6942 themselves in holinessH6944: {set…: or, trust}
Also of the sonsH1121 of AaronH175 the priestsH3548, which were in the fieldsH7704 of the suburbsH4054 of their citiesH5892, in every several cityH5892, the menH582 that were expressedH5344 by nameH8034, to giveH5414 portionsH4490 to all the malesH2145 among the priestsH3548, and to all that were reckoned by genealogiesH3187 among the LevitesH3881.
And thus didH6213 HezekiahH3169 throughout all JudahH3063, and wroughtH6213 that which was goodH2896 and rightH3477 and truthH571 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 his GodH430.
And in every workH4639 that he beganH2490 in the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and in the lawH8451, and in the commandmentsH4687, to seekH1875 his GodH430, he didH6213 it with all his heartH3824, and prosperedH6743.

And it came to pass, when the priestsH3548 were come outH3318 of the holyH6944 place: (for all the priestsH3548 that were presentH4672 were sanctifiedH6942, and did not then waitH8104 by courseH4256: {present: Heb. found}
And the priestsH3548 killedH7819 them, and they made reconciliationH2398 with their bloodH1818 upon the altarH4196, to make an atonementH3722 for all IsraelH3478: for the kingH4428 commandedH559 that the burnt offeringH5930 and the sin offeringH2403 should be made for all IsraelH3478.
And he setH5975 the LevitesH3881 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 with cymbalsH4700, with psalteriesH5035, and with harpsH3658, according to the commandmentH4687 of DavidH1732, and of GadH1410 the king'sH4428 seerH2374, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030: for so was the commandmentH4687 ofH3027 the LORDH3068 byH3027 his prophetsH5030. {commandment of the LORD: Heb. commandment by the hand of the LORD} {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And the LevitesH3881 stoodH5975 with the instrumentsH3627 of DavidH1732, and the priestsH3548 with the trumpetsH2689.
And he appointedH5975, according to the orderH4941 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1, the coursesH4256 of the priestsH3548 to their serviceH5656, and the LevitesH3881 to their chargesH4931, to praiseH1984 and ministerH8334 before the priestsH3548, as the dutyH1697 of every dayH3117 requiredH3117: the portersH7778 also by their coursesH4256 at every gateH8179: for so had DavidH1732 the manH376 of GodH430 commandedH4687. {so had David…: Heb. so was the commandment of David the man of God}
And he appointedH5414 certain of the LevitesH3881 to ministerH8334 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, and to recordH2142, and to thankH3034 and praiseH1984 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478:
AsaphH623 the chiefH7218, and nextH4932 to him ZechariahH2148, JeielH3273, and ShemiramothH8070, and JehielH3171, and MattithiahH4993, and EliabH446, and BenaiahH1141, and ObededomH5654: and JeielH3273 with psalteriesH5035+H3627 and with harpsH3658; but AsaphH623 made a soundH8085 with cymbalsH4700; {with psalteries…: Heb. with instruments of psalteries and harps}
BenaiahH1141 also and JahazielH3166 the priestsH3548 with trumpetsH2689 continuallyH8548 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of GodH430.
So the LevitesH3881 and all JudahH3063 didH6213 according to all things that JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 had commandedH6680, and tookH3947 every manH376 his menH582 that were to come inH935 on the sabbathH7676, with them that were to goH3318 out on the sabbathH7676: for JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548 dismissedH6358 not the coursesH4256.
And with them HemanH1968 and JeduthunH3038, and the restH7605 that were chosenH1305, who were expressedH5344 by nameH8034, to give thanksH3034 to the LORDH3068, because his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769;
So he leftH5800 there beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 AsaphH623 and his brethrenH251, to ministerH8334 beforeH6440 the arkH727 continuallyH8548, as every day'sH3117 workH1697 requiredH3117:
And to standH5975 every morningH1242 to thankH3034 and praiseH1984 the LORDH3068, and likewise at evenH6153;
To offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 unto the LORDH3068 upon the altarH4196 of the burnt offeringH5930 continuallyH8548 morningH1242 and eveningH6153, and to do according to all that is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068, which he commandedH6680 IsraelH3478; {morning…: Heb. in the morning, and in the evening}
Moreover DavidH1732 and the captainsH8269 of the hostH6635 separatedH914 to the serviceH5656 of the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623, and of HemanH1968, and of JeduthunH3038, who should prophesyH5012+H5030 with harpsH3658, with psalteriesH5035, and with cymbalsH4700: and the numberH4557 of the workmenH582+H4399 according to their serviceH5656 was:
Of the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623; ZaccurH2139, and JosephH3130, and NethaniahH5418, and AsarelahH841, the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623 under the handsH3027 of AsaphH623, which prophesiedH5012 according to the orderH3027 of the kingH4428. {Asarelah: otherwise called Jesharelah} {according…: Heb. by the hands of the king}
Of JeduthunH3038: the sonsH1121 of JeduthunH3038; GedaliahH1436, and ZeriH6874, and JeshaiahH3470, HashabiahH2811, and MattithiahH4993, sixH8337, under the handsH3027 of their fatherH1 JeduthunH3038, who prophesiedH5012 with a harpH3658, to give thanksH3034 and to praiseH1984 the LORDH3068. {Zeri: or, Izri}
So when DavidH1732 was oldH2204 and fullH7646 of daysH3117, he made SolomonH8010 his sonH1121 kingH4427 over IsraelH3478.
And he gathered togetherH622 all the princesH8269 of IsraelH3478, with the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881.
Now the LevitesH3881 were numberedH5608 from the ageH1121 of thirtyH7970 yearsH8141 and upwardH4605: and their numberH4557 by their pollsH1538, man by manH1397, was thirtyH7970 and eightH8083 thousandH505.
Of whichH428, twentyH6242 and fourH702 thousandH505 were to set forwardH5329 the workH4399 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; and sixH8337 thousandH505 were officersH7860 and judgesH8199: {set…: or, oversee}
Moreover fourH702 thousandH505 were portersH7778; and fourH702 thousandH505 praisedH1984 the LORDH3068 with the instrumentsH3627 which I madeH6213, said David, to praiseH1984 therewith.
And DavidH1732 dividedH2505 them into coursesH4256 among the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878, namely, GershonH1648, KohathH6955, and MerariH4847. {courses: Heb. divisions}
Of the GershonitesH1649 were, LaadanH3936, and ShimeiH8096. {Laadan: or, Libni}
The sonsH1121 of LaadanH3936; the chiefH7218 was JehielH3171, and ZethamH2241, and JoelH3100, threeH7969.
The sonsH1121 of ShimeiH8096; ShelomithH8019+H8013, and HazielH2381, and HaranH2039, threeH7969. These were the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of LaadanH3936.
And the sonsH1121 of ShimeiH8096 were, JahathH3189, ZinaH2126, and JeushH3266, and BeriahH1283. These fourH702 were the sonsH1121 of ShimeiH8096. {Zina: or, Zizah}
And JahathH3189 was the chiefH7218, and ZizahH2125 the secondH8145: but JeushH3266 and BeriahH1283 had not manyH7235 sonsH1121; therefore they were in oneH259 reckoningH6486, according to their father'sH1 houseH1004. {had…: Heb. did not multiply sons}
The sonsH1121 of KohathH6955; AmramH6019, IzharH3324, HebronH2275, and UzzielH5816, fourH702.
The sonsH1121 of AmramH6019; AaronH175 and MosesH4872: and AaronH175 was separatedH914, that he should sanctifyH6942 the mostH6944 holy thingsH6944, he and his sonsH1121 forH5704 everH5769, to burn incenseH6999 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, to ministerH8334 unto him, and to blessH1288 in his nameH8034 forH5704 everH5769.
Now concerning MosesH4872 the manH376 of GodH430, his sonsH1121 were namedH7121 of the tribeH7626 of LeviH3878.
The sonsH1121 of MosesH4872 were, GershomH1647, and EliezerH461.
Of the sonsH1121 of GershomH1647, ShebuelH7619 was the chiefH7218. {Shebuel: or, Shubael}
And the sonsH1121 of EliezerH461 were, RehabiahH7345 the chiefH7218. And EliezerH461 had none otherH312 sonsH1121; but the sonsH1121 of RehabiahH7345 were veryH4605 manyH7235. {the chief: or, the first} {very many: Heb. were highly multiplied}
Of the sonsH1121 of IzharH3324; ShelomithH8019 the chiefH7218.
Of the sonsH1121 of HebronH2275; JeriahH3404 the firstH7218, AmariahH568 the secondH8145, JahazielH3166 the thirdH7992, and JekameamH3360 the fourthH7243.
Of the sonsH1121 of UzzielH5816; MichahH4318 the firstH7218, and JesiahH3449 the secondH8145.
The sonsH1121 of MerariH4847; MahliH4249, and MushiH4187. The sonsH1121 of MahliH4249; EleazarH499, and KishH7027.
And EleazarH499 diedH4191, and had no sonsH1121, but daughtersH1323: and their brethrenH251 the sonsH1121 of KishH7027 tookH5375 them. {brethren: or, kinsmen}
The sonsH1121 of MushiH4187; MahliH4249, and EderH5740, and JeremothH3406, threeH7969.
These were the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 after the houseH1004 of their fathersH1; even the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1, as they were countedH6485 by numberH4557 of namesH8034 by their pollsH1538, that didH6213 the workH4399 for the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, from the ageH1121 of twentyH6242 yearsH8141 and upwardH4605.
For DavidH1732 saidH559, The LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 hath given restH5117 unto his peopleH5971, that they may dwellH7931 in JerusalemH3389 for everH5769: {that…: or, and he dwelleth in Jerusalem, etc}
And also unto the LevitesH3881; they shall no more carryH5375 the tabernacleH4908, nor any vesselsH3627 of it for the serviceH5656 thereof.
And MattaniahH4983 the sonH1121 of MichaH4316, the sonH1121 of ZabdiH2067, the sonH1121 of AsaphH623, was the principalH7218 to beginH8462 the thanksgivingH3034 in prayerH8605: and BakbukiahH1229 the secondH4932 among his brethrenH251, and AbdaH5653 the sonH1121 of ShammuaH8051, the sonH1121 of GalalH1559, the sonH1121 of JeduthunH3038.
And they setH6966 the priestsH3549 in their divisionsH6392, and the LevitesH3879 in their coursesH4255, forH5922 the serviceH5673 of GodH426, which is at JerusalemH3390; as it is writtenH3792 in the bookH5609 of MosesH4873. {as it is…: Chaldee, according to the writing}
A SongH7892 of degreesH4609. Behold, blessH1288 ye the LORDH3068, all ye servantsH5650 of the LORDH3068, which by nightH3915 standH5975 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
Lift upH5375 your handsH3027 in the sanctuaryH6944, and blessH1288 the LORDH3068. {the sanctuary: or, holiness}
The LORDH3068 that madeH6213 heavenH8064 and earthH776 blessH1288 thee out of ZionH6726.
There wasG1096 inG1722 the daysG2250 of HerodG2264, the kingG935 of JudaeaG2449, a certainG5100 priestG2409 namedG3686 ZachariasG2197, ofG1537 the courseG2183 of AbiaG7: andG2532 hisG846 wifeG1135 was ofG1537 the daughtersG2364 of AaronG2, andG2532 herG846 nameG3686 was ElisabethG1665.
PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. PraiseH1984 ye the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068; praiseH1984 him, O ye servantsH5650 of the LORDH3068.
Ye that standH5975 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, in the courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of our GodH430,
PraiseH1984 the LORDH3050; for the LORDH3068 is goodH2896: sing praisesH2167 unto his nameH8034; for it is pleasantH5273.
The voiceH6963 of joyH8342, and the voiceH6963 of gladnessH8057, the voiceH6963 of the bridegroomH2860, and the voiceH6963 of the brideH3618, the voiceH6963 of them that shall sayH559, PraiseH3034 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: for the LORDH3068 is goodH2896; for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769: and of them that shall bringH935 the sacrifice of praiseH8426 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. For I will cause to returnH7725 the captivityH7622 of the landH776, as at the firstH7223, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
