2 Chronicles 31

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 31 of 36

1 And when all this was finished, all Israel who were found went out to the cities of Judah and smashed the standing pillars, and cut down the Asherahs, and broke down the high places and the altars out of all Judah, and Benjamin, and in Ephraim, and Manasseh, even to the finishing. And all the sons of Israel returned, each man to his possession, to their cities.

2 And Hezekiah made stand the courses of the priests and of the Levites, by their divisions, each man according to his service, of the priests and of the Levites, for burnt offerings, and for peace offerings, to serve and to give thanks, and to give praise in the gates of the camps of Jehovah.

3 And the king's portion from his substance was for burnt offerings, for burnt offerings of the morning and the evening; and the burnt offerings of the sabbaths, and of the new moons, and of the set feasts, as it was written in the Law of Jehovah.
