*
Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests ,
Sherebiah ,
Hashabiah ,
and ten of their brethren with them ,
*
And weighed unto them the silver ,
and the gold ,
and the vessels ,
even the offering of the house of our God ,
which the king ,
and his counsellors ,
and his lords ,
and all Israel there present ,
had offered :
*
I even weighed unto their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver ,
and silver vessels an hundred talents ,
and of gold an hundred talents ;
*
Also twenty basons of gold ,
of a thousand drams ;
and two vessels of fine copper ,
precious as gold .
*
And I said unto them ,
Ye are holy unto the LORD ;
the vessels are holy also ;
and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering unto the LORD God of your fathers .
*
Watch ye ,
and keep them ,
until ye weigh them before the chief of the priests and the Levites ,
and chief of the fathers of Israel ,
at Jerusalem ,
in the chambers of the house of the LORD .
*
So took the priests and the Levites the weight of the silver ,
and the gold ,
and the vessels ,
to bring them to Jerusalem unto the house of our God .
