Expanded Bible

²⁴ Then I ·chose [appointed; set apart] twelve of the priests who were leaders, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their ·relatives [colleagues; ^Lbrothers]. ²⁵ I weighed the offering of silver and gold and the ·utensils [articles; vessels] given for the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of our God, and I gave them to the twelve priests I had chosen. The king, ·the people who advised him [his counselors], his ·officers [officials], and all the Israelites there with us had given these things. ²⁶ I weighed out ·and gave them [^Linto their hands] ·about fifty thousand pounds [^L650 talents] of silver, ·about seventy-five hundred pounds [^L100 talents] of silver objects, and ·about seventy-five hundred pounds [^L100 talents] of gold.
