Chapter 31
2 And Hezekiah stood up the divisions of the priests and the Levites over their divisions, a man according to his service, for the priests and for the Levites, for burnt offering and for peace offerings, to minister and to give thanks and to praise at the gates of the camps of the LORD. 3 And the king's portion from his property was for the offerings up, for the offerings up of the cattle and the evening, and the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths and for months and for appointed times, as written in the Torah of the LORD. 4 And he said to the people, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, so that they might be strong in the Torah of the LORD. 5 And the word burst forth. The sons of Israel multiplied firstfruits of grain, new wine, oil, and honey, and all produce of the field; and a tenth of all they brought in abundance. 6 And the sons of Israel and Judah who dwell in the cities of Judah also tithed cattle and sheep and tithes of holy things that they consecrate to the LORD their God; they brought them and gave heaps upon heaps. 7 In the third month they began the heaps for the foundation, and in the seventh month they finished. 8 Hezekiah and the chiefs came and saw the heaps and blessed the LORD and his people Israel. 9 And Hezekiah inquired of the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps. 10 And Azariah the head priest of the house of Zadok said to him, "From the beginning of the contribution to enter the house of the LORD—we have eaten and been satisfied, and leftover to abundance—for the LORD has blessed his people, and the remnant is this multitude." 11 Hezekiah commanded them to prepare chambers in the house of the LORD, and they prepared them. 12 And they brought the contribution and the tithe and the holy things in faithfulness, and over them was chief Kenaniah the Levite, and Shimei his brother as second-in-command. 13 And Jehiel and Azaziah and Nahath and Asahel and Jerimoth and Jozabad and Eliael and Semeiah and Mahath and Benaiah were overseers under Kenaniah and Shimei his brother in the oversight of Hezekiah the king and Azariah the ruler of the house of God. 14 And Kore son of Imnah the Levite, the gatekeeper to the east, was over the freewill offerings of God, to give the offering of the LORD and the holy things of the holy things. 15 And at his hand were Eden and Miniamin and Jeshua and Shemaiah, Amariah and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in faithfulness to give to their brothers in divisions, as great as small. 16 besides their enrollment for the males from a son of three years and upward, for everyone coming to the house of the LORD for the word of a day in its day, for their service in their guards according to their divisions. 17 The registrar of the priests, by their fathers' houses, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their sacred charges in their divisions. 18 and to register with all their dependents, their wives and their sons and their daughters, for all the assembly—for in their faithfulness they sanctify holy things. 19 Also for the sons of Aaron the priests in the fields of their pasturelands in every city and town, men who were designated by names to give portions to every male among the priests and to every registered one among the Levites. 20 And Hezekiah did thus in all Judah, and he did the good and the upright and the truth before the LORD his God. 21 And in every deed that he began in the service of the house of God and in the law and in the commandment, to seek his God with all his heart, he did it and succeeded.
