14:031:006 And concerning the children of Israel and
Judah, that dwelt in
the
cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of
oxen
and
sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated
unto
the lord their God, and laid them by heaps.
14:031:007 In the third month they began to lay the
foundation of the
heaps,
and finished them in the seventh month.
14:031:008 And when Hezekiah and the princes came
and saw the heaps, they
blessed
the lord, and his people Israel.
14:031:009 Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests
and the Levites
concerning
the heaps.
14:031:010 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 the lord, we have had enough to eat,
and
have
left plenty: for the lord hath blessed his
people; and
that
which is left is this great store.
14:031:011 Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers
in the house of
the
lord; and they prepared them,
14:031:012 And brought in the offerings and the tithes
and the dedicated
things
faithfully: over which Cononiah the Levite was
ruler,
and
Shimei his brother was the next.
14:031:013 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 Cononiah and Shimei
his
brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king, and
Azariah
the ruler of the house of God.
14:031:014 And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the
porter toward the
east,
was over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute
the
oblations of the lord, and the most holy things.
14:031:015 And next him were Eden, and Miniamin, and
Jeshua, and
Shemaiah,
Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the
priests,
in their set office, to give to their brethren by
courses,
as well to the great as to the small:
14:031:016 Beside their genealogy of males, from three
years old and
upward,
even unto every one that entereth into the house of
the
lord, his daily portion for their service in their
charges
according
to their courses;
14:031:017 Both to the genealogy of the priests by
the house of their
fathers,
and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in
their
charges by their courses;
14:031:018 And to the genealogy of all their little
ones, their wives,
and
their sons, and their daughters, through all the
congregation:
for in their set office they sanctified
themselves
in holiness:
