 31:1 ¶ Now when all x3605 this x2063 was finished, 3615 z8763 all x3605 Israel 3478 that were present 4672 z8737 went out 3318 z8804 to the cities 5892 of Judah, 3063 and brake y7665 z0 the images y4676 in pieces, 7665 z8762 x4676 and cut down 1438 z8762 the groves, 842 and threw down 5422 z8762 x853 the high places 1116 and the altars 4196 out of all x4480 x3605 Judah 3063 and Benjamin, 1144 in Ephraim 669 also and Manasseh, 4519 until x5704 they had utterly destroyed 3615 z8763 them all. Then all x3605 the children 1121 of Israel 3478 returned, 7725 z8799 every man 376 to his possession, 272 into their own cities. 5892

 31:2 ¶ And Hezekiah 3169 appointed 5975 z8686 x853 the courses 4256 of the priests 3548 and the Levites 3881 after x5921 their courses, 4256 every man 376 according y6310 to x6310 his service, 5656 the priests 3548 and Levites 3881 for burnt offerings 5930 and for peace offerings, 8002 to minister, 8334 z8763 and to give thanks, 3034 z8687 and to praise 1984 z8763 in the gates 8179 of the tents 4264 of the LORD. 3068

 31:3 [He appointed] also the king's 4428 portion 4521 of x4480 his substance 7399 for the burnt offerings, 5930 [to wit], for the morning 1242 and evening 6153 burnt offerings, 5930 and the burnt offerings 5930 for the sabbaths, 7676 and for the new moons, 2320 and for the set feasts, 4150 as [it is] written 3789 z8803 in the law 8451 of the LORD. 3068

 31:4 Moreover he commanded 559 z8799 the people 5971 that dwelt 3427 z8802 in Jerusalem 3389 to give 5414 z8800 the portion 4521 of the priests 3548 and the Levites, 3881 that x4616 they might be encouraged 2388 z8799 in the law 8451 of the LORD. 3068

 31:5 ¶ And as soon as the commandment 1697 came abroad, 6555 z8800 the children 1121 of Israel 3478 brought y935 z8689 in abundance 7235 z8689 the firstfruits 7225 of corn, 1715 wine, 8492 and oil, 3323 and honey, 1706 and of all x3605 the increase 8393 of the field; 7704 and the tithe 4643 of all x3605 [things] brought y935 z8689 they in x935 abundantly. 7230

 31:6 And [concerning] the children 1121 of Israel 3478 and Judah, 3063 that dwelt 3427 z8802 in the cities 5892 of Judah, 3063 they x1992 also x1571 brought in 935 z8689 the tithe 4643 of oxen 1241 and sheep, 6629 and the tithe 4643 of holy things 6944 which were consecrated 6942 z8794 unto the LORD 3068 their God, 430 and laid 5414 z8799 [them] by heaps. 6194

 31:7 In the third 7992 month 2320 they began 2490 z8689 to lay the foundation 3245 z8800 of the heaps, 6194 and finished 3615 z8765 [them] in the seventh 7637 month. 2320

 31:8 And when Hezekiah 3169 and the princes 8269 came 935 z8799 and saw 7200 z8799 x853 the heaps, 6194 they blessed 1288 z8762 x853 the LORD, 3068 and his people 5971 Israel. 3478

 31:9 Then Hezekiah 3169 questioned 1875 z8799 with x5921 the priests 3548 and the Levites 3881 concerning x5921 the heaps. 6194

 31:10 And Azariah 5838 the chief 7218 priest 3548 of the house 1004 of Zadok 6659 answered 559 z8799 x413 him, and said, 559 z8799 Since [the people] began 2490 z8687 x4480 to bring 935 z8687 the offerings 8641 into the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 we have had enough 7646 z8800 to eat, 398 z8800 and have left 3498 z8687 x5704 plenty: 7230 for x3588 the LORD 3068 hath blessed 1288 z8765 x853 his people; 5971 and that which is left 3498 z8737 [is] x853 this x2088 great store. 1995

 31:11 ¶ Then Hezekiah 3169 commanded 559 z8799 to prepare 3559 z8687 chambers 3957 in the house 1004 of the LORD; 3068 and they prepared 3559 z8686 [them],

 31:12 And brought in 935 z8686 x853 the offerings 8641 and the tithes 4643 and the dedicated 6944 [things] faithfully: 530 over x5921 which Cononiah 3562 the Levite y3881 x3878 [was] ruler, 5057 and Shimei 8096 his brother 251 [was] the next. 4932

 31:14 And Kore 6981 the son 1121 of Imnah 3232 the Levite, y3881 x3778 the porter 7778 toward the east, 4217 [was] over x5921 the freewill offerings 5071 of God, 430 to distribute 5414 z8800 the oblations 8641 of the LORD, 3068 and the most y6944 holy things. 6944

 31:15 And next x5921 x3027 him [were] Eden, 5731 and Miniamin, 4509 and Jeshua, 3442 and Shemaiah, 8098 Amariah, 568 and Shecaniah, 7935 in the cities 5892 of the priests, 3548 in [their] set office, 530 to give 5414 z8800 to their brethren 251 by y3027 courses, 4256 as well to the great 1419 as to the small: 6996

 31:16 Beside x4480 x905 their genealogy 3187 z8692 of males, 2145 from three 7969 years 8141 old 1121 x4480 and upward, 4605 [even] unto every one x3605 that entereth 935 z8802 into the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 his daily 3117 portion 1697 for their service 5656 in their charges 4931 according to their courses; 4256

 31:18 And to the genealogy 3187 z8692 of all x3605 their little ones, 2945 their wives, 802 and their sons, 1121 and their daughters, 1323 through all x3605 the congregation: 6951 for x3588 in their set office 530 they sanctified y6942 z8691 themselves x6942 in holiness: 6944

 31:19 Also of the sons 1121 of Aaron 175 the priests, 3548 [which were] in the fields 7704 of the suburbs 4054 of their cities, 5892 in every x3605 several city, 5892 the men y582 x376 that x834 were expressed 5344 z8738 by name, 8034 to give 5414 z8800 portions 4490 to all x3605 the males 2145 among the priests, 3548 and to all x3605 that were reckoned by genealogies 3187 z8692 among the Levites. 3881

 31:20 ¶ And thus x2063 did 6213 z8799 Hezekiah 3169 throughout all x3605 Judah, 3063 and wrought 6213 z8799 [that which was] good 2896 and right 3477 and truth 571 before 6440 the LORD 3068 his God. 430

 31:21 And in every x3605 work 4639 that x834 he began 2490 z8689 in the service 5656 of the house 1004 of God, 430 and in the law, 8451 and in the commandments, 4687 to seek 1875 z8800 his God, 430 he did 6213 z8804 [it] with all x3605 his heart, 3824 and prospered. 6743 z8689
