Chapter 31 Now when all this was finished,
all Israel that were present went out to

00:06.580 --> 00:10.700
the cities of Judah, and break the images
in pieces, and cut down the groves,

00:11.000 --> 00:14.700
and threw down the high places and the
altars, out of all Judah and Benjamin,

00:15.280 --> 00:19.000
Nephraim also, and Manasseh, until they
had utterly destroyed them all.

00:19.520 --> 00:23.740
Then all the children of Israel returned,
every man to his possession, into their

00:23.740 --> 00:24.260
own cities.

00:24.980 --> 00:28.320
And Hezekiah pointed the courses of the
priests and the Levites after their

00:28.320 --> 00:28.620
courses.

00:28.620 --> 00:32.920
Every man according to his service,
the priests and Levites for burnt

00:32.920 --> 00:36.240
offerings and for peace offerings,
to minister and to give thanks,

00:36.780 --> 00:38.860
and to praise in the gates of the tents of
the Lord.

00:39.740 --> 00:43.040
He appointed also the king's portion of
his substance for the burnt offerings,

00:43.440 --> 00:47.520
to wit, for the morning and evening burnt
offerings, and the burnt offerings for the

00:47.520 --> 00:51.740
Sabbaths, and for the new moons,
and for the set feasts, as it is written

00:51.740 --> 00:52.900
in the law of the Lord.

00:53.840 --> 00:57.680
Moreover He commanded the people that
dwelt in Jerusalem, to give the portion of

00:57.680 --> 01:01.160
the priests and the Levites, that they
might be encouraged in the law of the

01:01.160 --> 01:01.420
Lord.

01:02.540 --> 01:06.420
And as soon as the commandment came
abroad, the children of Israel brought in

01:06.420 --> 01:11.820
abundance the firstfruits of corn,
wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the

01:11.820 --> 01:12.760
increase of the field.

01:13.240 --> 01:16.080
And the tithe of all things brought they
in abundantly.

01:16.580 --> 01:20.300
And concerning the children of Israel and
Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah,

01:20.860 --> 01:25.160
they also brought in the tithe of oxen and
sheep, and the tithe of holy things,

01:25.480 --> 01:28.860
which were consecrated unto the Lord their
God, and laid them by heaps.

01:29.400 --> 01:33.420
In the third month they began to lay the
foundation of the heaps, and finished them

01:33.420 --> 01:34.400
in the seventh month.

01:35.340 --> 01:39.760
And when Hezekiah and the princes came and
saw the heaps, they blessed the Lord and

01:39.760 --> 01:40.740
his people Israel.

01:41.840 --> 01:45.140
Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests
and the Levites concerning the heaps.

01:45.860 --> 01:49.780
And Azariah the chief priest of the house
of Zadok answered him and said,

01:49.780 --> 01:53.920
Since the people began to bring the
offerings into the house of the Lord,

01:54.340 --> 01:57.360
we have had enough to eat, and have left
plenty.

01:57.840 --> 02:02.920
For the Lord hath blessed his people,
and that which is left is this great

02:02.920 --> 02:03.420
store.

02:03.760 --> 02:06.580
Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare
chambers in the house of the Lord.

02:07.180 --> 02:10.860
And they prepared them, and brought in the
offerings and the tithes, and the

02:10.860 --> 02:15.980
dedicated things faithfully, over which
Conani the Levite was ruler, and Shimei

02:15.980 --> 02:17.120
his brother was the next.

02:17.880 --> 02:24.140
And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath,
and Asahel, and Jeremoth, and Jezebad,

02:24.700 --> 02:30.060
and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath,
and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand

02:30.060 --> 02:34.160
of Conaniah and Shimei his brother,
at the commandment of Hezekiah the king,

02:34.460 --> 02:36.520
and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.

02:37.160 --> 02:41.800
And Kori the son of Imnah the Levite,
the porter toward the east, was over the

02:41.800 --> 02:45.940
freewill offerings of God, to distribute
the oblations of the Lord, and the most

02:45.940 --> 02:46.620
holy things.

02:47.500 --> 02:52.220
And next him were Eden, and Minyamin,
and Jeshua, and Shimei, and Moriah,

02:52.660 --> 02:56.900
and Shekiniah, in the cities of the
priests, in their set office, to give to

02:56.900 --> 03:00.120
their brethren by courses, as well to the
great as to the small.

03:01.080 --> 03:04.040
Beside the genealogy of males,
from three years old and upward,

03:04.420 --> 03:08.560
even unto every one that entereth into the
house of the Lord, his daily portion for

03:08.560 --> 03:12.300
their service and their charges,
according to their courses, both to the

03:12.300 --> 03:16.020
genealogy of the priests by the house of
their fathers, and the Levites from twenty

03:16.020 --> 03:20.820
years old and upward, in their charges,
by their courses, and to the genealogy of

03:20.820 --> 03:23.860
all their little ones, their wives,
and their sons, and their daughters,

03:24.400 --> 03:25.460
through all the congregation.

03:26.420 --> 03:29.660
For in their set office they sanctified
themselves in holiness.

03:30.820 --> 03:34.680
Also of the sons of Aaron the priests,
which were in the fields of the suburbs of

03:34.680 --> 03:39.200
their cities, in every several city,
the men that were expressed by name,

03:39.560 --> 03:43.400
to give portions to all the males among
the priests, and to all that were reckoned

03:43.400 --> 03:45.180
by genealogies among the Levites.

03:46.240 --> 03:50.560
And thus did Hezekiah throughout all
Judah, and wrought that which was good and

03:50.560 --> 03:52.660
right and truth before the Lord his God.

03:53.440 --> 03:57.100
And in every work that he began in the
service of the house of God, and in the

03:57.100 --> 04:01.500
law and in the commandments, to seek his
God, he did it with all his heart,

04:02.000 --> 04:02.940
and prospered.
