Chapter 31

¹Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and broke in pieces the pillars and cut down the Asherim and broke down the high places and the altars throughout all Judah and Benjamin, and in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the people of Israel returned to their cities, every man to his possession. ²And Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and of the Levites, division by division, each man according to his service, the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, to give thanks, and to sing praises in the gates of the camp of the LORD. ³The king also contributed from his own possessions to the burnt offerings: the burnt offerings of morning and evening, and the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths, the new moons, and the appointed feasts, as it is written in the Law of the LORD. ⁴And he commanded the people who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion due to the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to the Law of the LORD. ⁵As soon as the commandment was spread abroad, the people of Israel freely brought in the firstfruits of grain, wine, oil, honey, and of all the produce of the field. And they brought in abundantly the tithe of everything. ⁶And the people of Israel and Judah who lived in the cities of Judah also brought in the tithe of cattle and sheep, and the tithe of the dedicated things that had been consecrated to the LORD their God, and laid them in heaps. ⁷In the third month they began to pile up the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month. ⁸When Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD and his people Israel. ⁹And Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites about the heaps. ¹⁰Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him, “Since people began to bring the contributions into the house of the LORD, we have eaten and had enough and have plenty left, for the LORD has blessed his people, so that we have this great stock remaining.” ¹¹Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare chambers in the house of the LORD; and they prepared them. ¹²And they faithfully brought in the contributions, the tithes, and the dedicated things. Cononiah the Levite was in charge of them, and Shimei his brother was second. ¹³Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers assisting Cononiah and Shimei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king and Azariah the chief officer of the house of God. ¹⁴And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, keeper of the east gate, was over the freewill offerings of God, to apportion the contributions to the LORD and the most holy things. ¹⁵And under him were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, to distribute regularly to their brothers, to the great and to the small alike, ¹⁶besides those enrolled by genealogy, males from three years old and upward—to everyone who entered the house of the LORD as the duty of each day required—for their service according to their offices, by their divisions. ¹⁷The enrollment of the priests was according to their fathers’ houses; and the Levites from twenty years old and upward were enrolled according to their offices, by their divisions. ¹⁸They were enrolled with all their little children, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, the whole assembly, for they were faithful in consecrating themselves. ¹⁹Also for the sons of Aaron, the priests, who were in the fields of common land belonging to their cities, in every city, there were men who were designated by name to distribute portions to every male among the priests and to everyone among the Levites who was enrolled. ²⁰Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah, and he did what was good and right and faithful before the LORD his God. ²¹And every work that he undertook in the service of the house of God and in accordance with the law and the commandments, seeking his God, he did with all his heart, and prospered.
