* Now when all this was finished , all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah , and broke in pieces the pillars , and hewed down the Asherim , and broke down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin , * And Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites after their divisions , every man according to his service , both the priests and the Levites , for burnt-offerings and for peace-offerings , to minister , and to give * Also [he appointed ] the king 's portion of his substance for the burnt-offerings , [namely ], for the morning and evening burnt-offerings , and the burnt-offerings for the Sabbaths , and for the new moons , and for the set feasts , as it * Moreover he commanded the people who dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites , that they might give themselves to the law of LORD . * And as soon as the commandment came abroad , the sons of Israel gave in abundance the first-fruits of grain , new wine , and oil , and honey , and of all the increase of the field . And they brought in the tithe of all things abundantly . * And the sons of Israel and Judah , who dwelt in the cities of Judah , they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep , and the tithe of dedicated things which were consecrated to LORD their God , and laid them by heaps . * In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps , and finished them in the seventh month . * And when Hezekiah and the rulers came and saw the heaps , they blessed LORD , and his people Israel . * Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps . * And Azariah the chief priest , of the house of Zadok , answered him and said , Since they began to bring the oblations into the house of LORD , we have eaten and had enough , and have plenty left . For LORD has blessed his people , and th * Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of LORD , and they prepared them . * And they brought in the oblations and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully . And Conaniah the Levite was ruler over them , and Shimei his brother was second . * And Jehiel , and Azaziah , and Nahath , and Asahel , and Jerimoth , and Jozabad , and Eliel , and Ismachiah , and Mahath , and Benaiah , were overseers under the hand of Conaniah and Shimei his brother , by the appointment of Hezekiah the kin * And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite , the porter at the east [gate ], was over the freewill-offerings of God , to distribute the oblations of LORD , and the most holy things . * And under him were Eden , and Miniamin , and Jeshua , and Shemaiah , Amariah , and Shecaniah , in the cities of the priests , in their office of trust , to give to their brothers by divisions , as well to the great as to the small , * besides those who were reckoned by genealogy of males , from three years old and upward , even everyone that entered into the house of LORD , as the duty of every day required , for their service in their offices according to their div * and those who were reckoned by genealogy of the priests by their fathers ' houses , and the Levites from twenty years old and upward , in their offices by their divisions , * and those who were reckoned by genealogy of all their little ones , their wives , and their sons , and their daughters , through all the congregation . For in their office of trust they sanctified themselves in holiness . * Also for the sons of Aaron the priests , who were in the fields of the suburbs of their cities , in every city , there were men who were mentioned by name , to give portions to all the males among the priests , and to all who were recko * And thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah . And he wrought that which was good and right and faithful before LORD his God . * And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God , and in the law , and in the commandments , to seek his God , he did it with all his heart , and prospered .
