2 Chronicles

Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and broke the sacred pillars in pieces, cut down the wooden images, and threw down the high places and the altars from all Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned to their own cities, every man to his possession.

And Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites according to their divisions, each man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and peace offerings, to minister, to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camp of the LORD.

The king also appointed a portion of his possessions for the burnt offerings: for the morning and evening burnt offerings, the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths and the New Moons and the set feasts, as it is written in the Law of the LORD.

Moreover he commanded the people who dwelt in Jerusalem to contribute the support for the priests and the Levites, that they might devote themselves to the Law of the LORD.

As soon as the commandment was circulated, the children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of grain and wine, oil and honey, and of all the produce of the field; and they brought in abundantly the tithe of everything.

And the children of Israel and Judah who dwelt in the cities of Judah brought the tithe of oxen and sheep; also the tithe of holy things which were consecrated to the LORD their God they laid in heaps.

In the third month they began laying them in heaps, and they finished in the seventh month.

And when Hezekiah and the leaders came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD and His people Israel.

Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.

And Azariah the chief priest, from the house of Zadok, answered him and said: "Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat and have plenty left over; for the LORD has blessed His people, and what is left is this great abundance."

Now Hezekiah commanded them to prepare rooms in the house of the LORD, and they prepared them.

Then they faithfully brought in the offerings, the tithes, and the dedicated things; Conaniah the Levite was in charge of them, and Shimei his brother was the next.

Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers under the direction of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.

Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the East Gate, was over the freewill offerings to God, to distribute the offerings of the LORD and the most holy things.

And under him were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, his faithful assistants in the cities of the priests, to distribute to their brothers by divisions, to the great as well as the small.

Besides those listed in the genealogies of males from three years old and upward, for everyone who entered the house of the LORD to do his daily duty, for their service in their duties according to their divisions,

and the genealogy of the priests by their fathers’ house, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, by their duties in their divisions;

and the genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, throughout the entire assembly, for they devoted themselves faithfully to the holy things.

Also for the sons of Aaron the priests, who were in the fields of the common-lands of their cities, in every single city, there were men designated by name to give portions to all the males among the priests and to all who were listed in the genealogies among the Levites.

Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah, and he did what was good and right and true before the LORD his God.

And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, in the law and in the commandment, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart. So he prospered.
