1 And just as finished all this they went out all Israel who were found to [the] cities of Judah and they broke the sacred pillars and they cut down the Asherah poles and they pulled down the high places and the altars from all Judah and Benjamin and in Ephraim and Manasseh until finished and they returned all [the] people of Israel each to possession his to cities their.

And when all these thinges were finished, all Israel that were found in the cities of Iudah, went out and brake the images, and cut downe the groues, and brake downe the hie places, and the altars thorowout all Iudah and Beniamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, vntil they had made an ende: afterwarde all the children of Israel returned euery man to his possession, into their owne cities.

2 And he appointed Hezekiah [the] divisions of the priests and the Levites on divisions their each - according to [the] mouth of service his to the priests and to the Levites for burnt offering and for peace offerings to serve and to give thanks and to praise in [the] gates of [the] camps of Yahweh.

And Hezekiah appoynted the courses of the Priests and Leuites by their turnes, euery man according to his office, both Priestes and Leuites, for the burnt offring and peace offrings, to minister and to giue thankes, and to prayse in the gates of the tentes of the Lord.

3 And [the] portion of the king from own property his [was] for the burnt offerings for [the] burnt offerings of the morning and the evening and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths and for the new moons and for the appointed feasts according to [what] is written in [the] law of Yahweh.

(And the Kings portion was of his owne substance for the burnt offrings, euen for ye burnt offrings of the morning and of the euening, and the burnt offrings for the Sabbaths, and for the new moones, and for the solemne feastes, as it is written in the Law of the Lord)

4 And he said to the people to [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem to give [the] portion of the priests and the Levites so that they may be strong in [the] law of Yahweh.

He commanded also the people that dwelt in Ierusalem, to giue a part to the Priestes, and Leuites, that they might be encouraged in the Law of the Lord.

5 And just as spread the word they multiplied [the] people of Israel [the] first of grain new wine and fresh oil and honey and every produce of [the] field and [the] tithe of everything to abundance they brought.

And when the commandement was spread, the children of Israel brought abundance of first fruites, of corne, wine, and oyle, and honie, and of all the increase of the fielde, and the tithes of all things brought they abundantly.

6 And [the] people of Israel and Judah who dwelt in [the] cities of Judah also they a tithe of herd[s] and flock[s] and a tithe of holy things which were consecrated to Yahweh God their they brought and they made heaps heaps.

And the children of Israel and Iudah that dwelt in ye cities of Iudah, they also brought the tithes of bullockes and sheepe, and the holy tithes which were consecrate vnto the Lord their God, and laide them on many heapes.

7 In the month third they began the heaps to found and in the month seventh they finished.

In the thirde moneth they beganne to lay the foundation of the heapes, and finished them in the seuenth moneth.

8 And they came Hezekiah and the officials and they saw the heaps and they blessed Yahweh and people his Israel.

And when Hezekiah and the princes came, and saw the heapes, they blessed the Lord and his people Israel.

9 And he enquired Hezekiah to the priests and the Levites on the heaps.

And Hezekiah questioned with the Priests and the Leuites concerning the heapes.

10 And he said to him Azariah the priest the head of [the] house of Zadok and he said from when began the contribution to bring [the] house of Yahweh we have eaten and we have been satisfied and we have had more than enough to to abundance for Yahweh he has blessed people his and [what] remains the abundance this.

And Azariah the chiefe Priest of the house of Zadok answered him, and sayde, Since the people beganne to bring the offrings into the house of the Lord, we haue eaten and haue bene satisfied, and there is left in abundance: for the Lord hath blessed his people, and this abundance that is left.

11 And he said Hezekiah to prepare rooms in [the] house of Yahweh and they prepared [them].

And Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the Lord: and they prepared them,

12 And they brought the contribution and the tithe and the holy things in faithfulness and [was] over them an officer (Konaniah *Q(k)*) the Levite and Shimei brother his [was] second in command.

And caryed in the first fruites, and the tithes, and the dedicate things faithfully: and ouer them was Conaniah the Leuite, the chiefe, and Shimei his brother the seconde.

13 And Jehiel and Azaziah and Nahath and Asahel and Jerimoth and Jozabad and Eliel and Ismachiah and Mahath and Benaiah [were] overseers from [the] hand of (Konaniah *Q(k)*) and Shimei brother his by [the] appointment of Hezekiah the king and Azariah [the] ruler of [the] house of God.

14 And Kore [the] son of Imnah the Levite the gatekeeper to the east [was] over [the] freewill offerings of God to distribute [the] contribution of Yahweh and [the] holy things of the holy things.

And Kore the sonne of Imnah the Leuite porter towarde the East, was ouer the things that were willingly offred vnto God, to distribute the oblations of the Lord, and the holy things that were consecrate.

15 And [were] on hand his Eden and Miniamin and Jeshua and Shemaiah Amariah and Shecaniah in [the] cities of the priests in faithfulness to distribute to brothers their by divisions as the great as the small.

And at his hande were Eden, and Miniamin, and Ieshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shechaniah, in the cities of the Priestes, to distribute with fidelitie to their brethren by courses, both to the great and small,

20 And he did like this Hezekiah in all Judah and he did the good and the right and faithfulness before Yahweh God his.

And thus did Hezekiah throughout al Iudah, and did well, and vprightly, and truely before the Lord his God.

21 And in every work which he began - in [the] service of [the] house of God and in the law and in the commandment to seek God his with all heart his he did [it] and he succeeded.
