15:008:022 For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers
           and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way:  because
           we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is
           upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his
           wrath is against all them that forsake him.

15:008:023 So we fasted and besought our God for this:  and he was
           intreated of us.

15:008:024 Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests,
           Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,

15:008:025 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: 

15:008:026 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;

15:008:027 Also twenty basons of gold, of a thousand drams; and two
           vessels of fine copper, precious as gold.

15:008:028 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.

15:008:029 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.

15:008:030 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.

15:008:031 Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of
           the first month, to go unto Jerusalem:  and the hand of our God
           was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy,
           and of such as lay in wait by the way.

15:008:032 And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.

15:008:033 Now on the fourth day was the silver and the gold and the
           vessels weighed in the house of our God by the hand of
           Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar
           the son of Phinehas; and with them was Jozabad the son of
           Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, Levites;

15:008:034 By number and by weight of every one:  and all the weight was
           written at that time.

15:008:035 Also the children of those that had been carried away, which
           were come out of the captivity, offered burnt offerings unto
           the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and
           six rams, seventy and seven lambs, twelve he goats for a sin
           offering:  all this was a burnt offering unto the lord.
