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.
