Now when all this was
finished, all
Israel that were
present went
out to the
cities of
Judah, and
brake the
images in
pieces, and cut
down the
groves, and threw
down the high
places and the
altars out of all
Judah and
Benjamin, in
Ephraim also and
Manasseh, until they had utterly
destroyed them all. Then all the
children of
Israel returned, every
man to his
possession, into their own
cities.

And
Hezekiah appointed the
courses of the
priests and the
Levites after their
courses, every
man according to his
service, the
priests and
Levites for burnt
offerings and for peace
offerings, to
minister, and to give
thanks, and to
praise in the
gates of the
tents of the
LORD.

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 set
feasts, as it is
written in the
law of the
LORD.

Moreover he
commanded the
people that
dwelt in
Jerusalem to
give the
portion of the
priests and the
Levites, that they might be
encouraged in the
law of the
LORD.

And as soon as the
commandment came
abroad, the
children of
Israel brought in
abundance the
firstfruits of
corn, wine, and
oil, and
honey, and of all the
increase of the
field; and the
tithe of all things
brought they in
abundantly.

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*.

And when

blessed the
LORD, and his
people Israel.

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.
