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, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities

31:002

And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priest and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, both the priests and the Levites, for burnt-offerings and for peace-offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camp of HaShem

31:003

He appointed also the king's portion of his substance for the burnt-offerings, to wit, for the morning and evening burnt-offerings, and the burnt-offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the appointed seasons, as it is written in the Law of HaShem

31:008

And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed HaShem, and His people Israel

31:009

Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps

31:010

And Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said: 'Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of HaShem, we have eaten and had enough, and have left plenty; for HaShem hath blessed His people; and that which is left is this great store.

31:011

Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of HaShem; and they prepared them

And they brought in the offerings and the tithes and the hallowed things faithfully; and over them Conaniah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was second

31:013

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 king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of G-d

31:014

And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter at the east gate, was over the freewill-offerings of G-d, to distribute the offerings of HaShem, and the most holy things

31:015

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 brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small

beside them that were reckoned by genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even every one that entered into the house of HaShem, for his daily portion, for their service in their charges according to their courses

31:017

and them that were reckoned by genealogy of the priests by their fathers' houses, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their courses

31:018

even to give to them that 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 administered the sacred gifts

31:019

also for the sons of Aaron the priests, that were in the fields of the open land about their cities, in every city, there were men that were mentioned by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogy among the Levites

31:020

And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah; and he wrought that which was good and right and faithful before HaShem his G-d

31:021

And in every work that he began in the service of the house of G-d, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his G-d, he did it with all his heart, and prospered
