希西家的改革
31 这一切事都完毕以后,在那里的以色列众人就到犹大的城镇,打碎柱像,砍断亚舍拉,又在犹大、便雅悯、以法莲、玛拿西遍地把丘坛和祭坛完全拆毁。于是以色列众人各回各城,各归自己产业的地去了。
2 希西家分派祭司和利未人的班次,使祭司和利未人照各自的班次,按各自的职分献燔祭和平安祭,又在耶和华殿[a]的门内事奉,称谢颂赞耶和华。 3 王又从自己的产业中分出一份来作燔祭,就是早晚的燔祭,和安息日、初一,以及节期的燔祭,都是按耶和华律法上所记载的。 4 他又吩咐住耶路撒冷的百姓将祭司和利未人所应得的份给他们,使他们坚守耶和华的律法。 5 命令一出,以色列人就把初熟的五谷、新酒、新油、蜜和田地的出产多多送来;他们把各样出产的十分之一大量送来。 6 住犹大各城的以色列人和犹大人也将牛羊的十分之一,以及分别为圣归耶和华—他们 神之物,就是十分取一之物,尽都送来,积成一堆一堆; 7 他们从三月开始堆积,到七月才完成。 8 希西家和众领袖来,看见这些堆积物,就称颂耶和华,又为耶和华的百姓以色列祝福。 9 希西家向祭司和利未人查问这些堆积物。 10 撒督家的亚撒利雅祭司长告诉他说:“自从礼物开始送到耶和华的殿以来,我们不但吃饱,而且剩下的很多;因为耶和华赐福给他的百姓,所剩下的才这样丰盛。”
11 希西家吩咐要在耶和华殿里预备仓房,他们就预备了。 12 他们诚心将礼物,十分取一之物,就是分别为圣之物,都搬入仓内。利未人歌楠雅主管这事,他的兄弟示每是副主管。 13 耶歇、亚撒细雅、拿哈、亚撒黑、耶利摩、约撒拔、以列、伊斯玛基雅、玛哈、比拿雅都是督办,在歌楠雅和他兄弟示每的手下,是希西家王和管理 神殿的亚撒利雅所委派的。 14 守东门的利未人音拿的儿子可利,掌管献给 神的甘心祭,发放献给耶和华的礼物和至圣的物。 15 在祭司的各城里,在他手下忠心协助他的有伊甸、珉雅珉、耶书亚、示玛雅、亚玛利雅、示迦尼雅,都按着班次分给他们的弟兄,无论大小, 16 不论是否登录在家谱,凡三岁以上的男丁,每日进耶和华殿、按班次供职事奉的,都分给他, 17 也发放给按父家登录在家谱的祭司;又按班次职任分给二十岁以上的利未人, 18 又按家谱的登记,分给他们的小孩、妻子、儿女,给全体会众;因为他们忠诚,将自己分别为圣。 19 住在各城郊野亚伦的子孙、按名受委任的人,要把应得的份给祭司中所有的男丁和载入家谱的利未人。
20 希西家在全犹大都这样办理,在耶和华—他 神面前行良善、正直、忠诚的事。 21 凡他所行的,无论是开始办 神殿的事,是遵律法守诫命,是寻求他的 神,他都尽心去做,无不亨通。

2 Chronicles 31
King James Version
31 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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
5 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.
6 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.
7 In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
8 And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the Lord, and his people Israel.
9 Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
10 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.
11 Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the Lord; and they prepared them,
12 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.
13 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 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.
15 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:
16 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;
17 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;
18 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:
19 Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, which were in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every several city, the men that were expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogies among the Levites.
20 And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and wrought that which was good and right and truth before the Lord his God.
21 And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.
