2nd Chronicles 29: Hezekiah Reigns in Judah - Parent Category: 2nd Chronicles: Reign of Solomon followed by Divided Kingdom - Category: 2nd Chronicles 29-32: Hezekiah's Reforms 2 Chronicles 29 Hezekiah Reigns in Judah 29Hezekiah became king when he was twenty-five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abijah the daughter of Zechariah. 2And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father David had done. Hezekiah Cleanses the Temple 3In the first year of his reign, in the first month, he opened the doors of the house of the Lord and repaired them. 4Then he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them in the East Square, 5and said to them: “Hear me, Levites! Now sanctify yourselves, sanctify the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and carry out the rubbish from the holy place. 6For our fathers have trespassed and done evil in the eyes of the Lord our God; they have forsaken Him, have turned their faces away from the dwelling place of the Lord, and turned their backs on Him. 7They have also shut up the doors of the vestibule, put out the lamps, and have not burned incense or offered burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel. 8Therefore the wrath of the Lord fell upon Judah and Jerusalem, and He has given them up to trouble, to desolation, and to jeering, as you see with your eyes. 9For indeed, because of this our fathers have fallen by the sword; and our sons, our daughters, and our wives are in captivity. 10“Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with the Lord God of Israel, that His fierce wrath may turn away from us. 11My sons, do not be negligent now, for the Lord has chosen you to stand before Him, to serve Him, and that you should minister to Him and burn incense.” 12Then these Levites arose: Mahath the son of Amasai and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites; of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi and Azariah the son of Jehallelel; of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah and Eden the son of Joah; 13of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeiel; of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah; 14of the sons of Heman, Jehiel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel. 15And they gathered their brethren, sanctified themselves, and went according to the commandment of the king, at the words of the Lord, to cleanse the house of the Lord. 16Then the priests went into the inner part of the house of the Lord to cleanse it, and brought out all the debris that they found in the temple of the Lord to the court of the house of the Lord. And the Levites took it out and carried it to the Brook Kidron. 17Now they began to sanctify on the first day of the first month, and on the eighth day of the month they came to the vestibule of the Lord. So they sanctified the house of the Lord in eight days, and on the sixteenth day of the first month they finished. 18Then they went in to King Hezekiah and said, “We have cleansed all the house of the Lord, the altar of burnt offerings with all its articles, and the table of the showbread with all its articles. 19Moreover all the articles which King Ahaz in his reign had cast aside in his transgression we have prepared and sanctified; and there they are, before the altar of the Lord.” Hezekiah Restores Temple Worship 20Then King Hezekiah rose early, gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the Lord. 21And they brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats for a sin offering for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. Then he commanded the priests, the sons of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the Lord. 22So they killed the bulls, and the priests received the blood and sprinkled it on the altar. Likewise they killed the rams and sprinkled the blood on the altar. They also killed the lambs and sprinkled the blood on the altar. 23Then they brought out the male goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly, and they laid their hands on them. 24And the priests killed them; and they presented their blood on the altar as a sin offering to make an atonement for all Israel, for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering be made for all Israel. 25And he stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, of Gad the king’s seer, and of Nathan the prophet; for thus was the commandment of the Lord by His prophets. 26The Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets. 27Then Hezekiah commanded them to offer the burnt offering on the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of the Lord also began, with the trumpets and with the instruments of David king of Israel. 28So all the assembly worshiped, the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished. 29And when they had finished offering, the king and all who were present with him bowed and worshiped. 30Moreover King Hezekiah and the leaders commanded the Levites to sing praise to the Lord with the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshiped. 31Then Hezekiah answered and said, “Now that you have consecrated yourselves to the Lord, come near, and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the Lord.” So the assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings, and as many as were of a willing heart brought burnt offerings. 32And the number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, and two hundred lambs; all these were for a burnt offering to the Lord. 33The consecrated things were six hundred bulls and three thousand sheep. 34But the priests were too few, so that they could not skin all the burnt offerings; therefore their brethren the Levites helped them until the work was ended and until the other priests had sanctified themselves, for the Levites were more diligent in sanctifying themselves than the priests. 35Also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings and with the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of the Lord was set in order. 36Then Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced that God had prepared the people, since the events took place so suddenly. 2nd Chronicles 30: Hezekiah Keeps the Passover - Parent Category: 2nd Chronicles: Reign of Solomon followed by Divided Kingdom - Category: 2nd Chronicles 29-32: Hezekiah's Reforms 2 Chronicles 30 Hezekiah Keeps the Passover 30And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to the Lord God of Israel. 2For the king and his leaders and all the assembly in Jerusalem had agreed to keep the Passover in the second month. 3For they could not keep it at the regular time, because a sufficient number of priests had not consecrated themselves, nor had the people gathered together at Jerusalem. 4And the matter pleased the king and all the assembly. 5So they resolved to make a proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, that they should come to keep the Passover to the Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem, since they had not done it for a long time in the prescribed manner. 6Then the runners went throughout all Israel and Judah with the letters from the king and his leaders, and spoke according to the command of the king: “Children of Israel, return to the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel; then He will return to the remnant of you who have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria. 7And do not be like your fathers and your brethren, who trespassed against the Lord God of their fathers, so that He gave them up to desolation, as you see. 8Now do not be stiff-necked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the Lord; and enter His sanctuary, which He has sanctified forever, and serve the Lord your God, that the fierceness of His wrath may turn away from you. 9For if you return to the Lord, your brethren and your children will be treated with compassion by those who lead them captive, so that they may come back to this land; for the Lord your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn His face from you if you return to Him.” 10So the runners passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, as far as Zebulun; but they laughed at them and mocked them. 11Nevertheless some from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem. 12Also the hand of God was on Judah to give them singleness of heart to obey the command of the king and the leaders, at the word of the Lord. 13Now many people, a very great assembly, gathered at Jerusalem to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the second month. 14They arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and they took away all the incense altars and cast them into the Brook Kidron. 15Then they slaughtered the Passover lambs on the fourteenth day of the second month. The priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought the burnt offerings to the house of the Lord. 16They stood in their place according to their custom, according to the Law of Moses the man of God; the priests sprinkled the blood received from the hand of the Levites. 17For there were many in the assembly who had not sanctified themselves; therefore the Levites had charge of the slaughter of the Passover lambs for everyone who was not clean, to sanctify them to the Lord. 18For a multitude of the people, many from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the Passover contrary to what was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, “May the good Lord provide atonement for everyone 19who prepares his heart to seek God, the Lord God of his fathers, though he is not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.” 20And the Lord listened to Hezekiah and healed the people. 21So the children of Israel who were present at Jerusalem kept the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days with great gladness; and the Levites and the priests praised the Lord day by day, singing to the Lord, accompanied by loud instruments. 22And Hezekiah gave encouragement to all the Levites who taught the good knowledge of the Lord; and they ate throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings and making confession to the Lord God of their fathers. 23Then the whole assembly agreed to keep the feast another seven days, and they kept it another seven days with gladness. 24For Hezekiah king of Judah gave to the assembly a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep, and the leaders gave to the assembly a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep; and a great number of priests sanctified themselves. 25The whole assembly of Judah rejoiced, also the priests and Levites, all the assembly that came from Israel, the sojourners who came from the land of Israel, and those who dwelt in Judah. 26So there was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the time of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, there had been nothing like this in Jerusalem. 27Then the priests, the Levites, arose and blessed the people, and their voice was heard; and their prayer came up to His holy dwelling place, to heaven. 2nd Chronicles 31: The Reforms of Hezekiah - Parent Category: 2nd Chronicles: Reign of Solomon followed by Divided Kingdom - Category: 2nd Chronicles 29-32: Hezekiah's Reforms 2 Chronicles 31 The Reforms of Hezekiah 31Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and broke the sacred pillars in pieces, cut down the wooden images, and threw down the high places and the altars—from all Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh—until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned to their own cities, every man to his possession. 2And Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites according to their divisions, each man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and peace offerings, to serve, to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camp of the Lord. 3The king also appointed a portion of his possessions for the burnt offerings: for the morning and evening burnt offerings, the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths and the New Moons and the set feasts, as it is written in the Law of the Lord. 4Moreover he commanded the people who dwelt in Jerusalem to contribute support for the priests and the Levites, that they might devote themselves to the Law of the Lord. 5As soon as the commandment was circulated, the children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of grain and wine, oil and honey, and of all the produce of the field; and they brought in abundantly the tithe of everything. 6And the children of Israel and Judah, who dwelt in the cities of Judah, brought the tithe of oxen and sheep; also the tithe of holy things which were consecrated to the Lord their God they laid in heaps. 7In the third month they began laying them in heaps, and they finished in the seventh month. 8And when Hezekiah and the leaders came and saw the heaps, they blessed the Lord and His people Israel. 9Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps. 10And Azariah the chief priest, from 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 plenty left, for the Lord has blessed His people; and what is left is this great abundance.” 11Now Hezekiah commanded them to prepare rooms in the house of the Lord, and they prepared them. 12Then they faithfully brought in the offerings, the tithes, and the dedicated things; Cononiah the Levite had charge of them, and Shimei his brother was the next. 13Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, 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. 14Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the East Gate, was over the freewill offerings to God, to distribute the offerings of the Lord and the most holy things. 15And under him were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, his faithful assistants in the cities of the priests, to distribute allotments to their brethren by divisions, to the great as well as the small. 16Besides those males from three years old and up who were written in the genealogy, they distributed to everyone who entered the house of the Lord his daily portion for the work of his service, by his division, 17and to the priests who were written in the genealogy according to their father’s house, and to the Levites from twenty years old and up according to their work, by their divisions, 18and to all who were written in the genealogy—their little ones and their wives, their sons and daughters, the whole company of them—for in their faithfulness they sanctified themselves in holiness. 19Also for the sons of Aaron the priests, who were in the fields of the common-lands of their cities, in every single city, there were men who were designated by name to distribute portions to all the males among the priests and to all who were listed by genealogies among the Levites. 20Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah, and he did what was good and right and true before the Lord his God. 21And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, in the law and in the commandment, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart. So he prospered.

2 इतिहास अध्याय 29 हिजकियाह जब पच्चीस वर्ष पुगे तब तिनी राजा भए। तिनले यरूशलेममा उनन्तीस वर्षसम्म राज गरे। तिनकी आमाको नाउँ अबियाह थियो। अबियाह जकर्याहकी छोरी थिइन्। 2 हिजकियाहले परमप्रभुले तिनीद्वारा गर्न चाहनु भएका कुराहरू गरे तिनले आफ्ना पुर्खा दाऊदले गरेका जस्तै सही कार्य गरे। 3 हिजकियाहले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका ढोकाहरू लगाइ दिए अनि तिनीहरूलाई दृढ बनाए। हिजकियाहले मन्दिर फेरि खुल्ला गरि दिए। तिनले यो काम आफू राजा भएको पहिलो वर्षको पहिलो महीनामा गरे। 4 हिजकियाले पूजाहारीहरू अनि लेवीहरूलाई सभामा एक साथ गरे। तिनले तिनीहरूसित मन्दिरको पूर्व तफर्को खुल्ला आँगानमा सभा गरे। हिजकियाहले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “मेरो कुरा सुन, लेवीहरू। तिमीहरूले स्वयंलाई पवित्र सेवाको निम्ति तयार गर। परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको मन्दिरलाई पवित्र सेवाका निम्ति तयार पार, उहाँ तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूले आज्ञा पालन गर्ने परमेश्वर हुनु हुन्छ। मन्दिरबाट ती चीज-बीजहरू हटाइ देऊ जो त्यहाँको होइन। ती चीज बीजहरूले मन्दिरलाई शुद्ध तुल्याउँदैन। 6 हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले परमप्रभुलाई त्याग गरे अनि आफ्ना अनुहार परमप्रभुको मन्दिरबाट टाढा फर्काए। 7 तिनीहरूले मन्दिरको दलानका ढोकाहरू थुनि दिए अनि दीपहरूमा बत्ती निभ्न दिए। तिनीहरूले इस्राएलका परमेश्वरलाई पवित्र स्थानमा धूप बाल्न अनि होमबलि चढाउन बन्द गरे। 8 यसर्थ परमप्रभु यहूदा अनि यरूशलेमका मानिसहरू प्रति अत्यन्त क्रोधित हुनु भयो। परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनु भयो। अरू मानिसहरू भयभीत भए अनि विचलित भए जब तिनीहरूले देखे परमप्रभुले यहूदा अनि यरूशलेमका मानिसहरूलाई के गरे। ती अन्य मानिसहरूले यहूदाका मानिसहरूका निम्ति घृणा अनि लाजले आफ्ना शिरहरू हल्लाए। तिमीहरू जान्दछौ, यी कुराहरू सत्य हुन्। तिमीहरू आफ्नै आँखाले देख्न सक्छौ। 9 अनि, त्यसै कारणले गर्दा हाम्रो पुर्खाहरू युद्धमा मारिए। हाम्रा छोरा अनि छोरीहरू अनि पत्नीहरूलाई कैदी बनाइए। 10 यसकारण अब म, हिजकियाहले इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वर सित करार गर्ने निश्चय गरेको छु। तब उहाँ हामी सित अब उप्रान्त क्रोधित हुनहुने छैन। 11 यसकारण मेरो छोराहरू, अल्छे नबन वा अझ अधिक समय खेर नफाल। परमप्रभुले उहाँको सेवा गर्नका निम्ति तिमीहरूलाई चुन्नु भएको छ। उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई उँहाको मन्दिरमा सेवा गर्न अनि धूप बाल्नका निम्ति चुन्नु भएको छ।” 12 यो त्यहाँ भएका लेवीहरूको सूचीहो जसले काम गर्न शुरू गरेः कहातका परिवारबाट अमासैका छोरा महत अनि अजर्याहका छोरा योएल थिए। मरारीका परिवारबाट अब्दीका छोरा कीश अनि यहल्लेलका छोरा अजर्याह थिए। गेर्शोनका परिवारबाट जीम्माका छोरा योआह अनि योआहका छोरा एदेन थिए। एलीसापानका परिवारहरूबाट शिम्री अनि यूएल थिए। आसापका परिवारहरूबाट जकर्याह अनि मत्तन्याह थिए। हेमानका परिवारहरूबाट यहूएल अनि शिमी थिए। यदूतूनका परिवारहरूबाट शमायाह अनि उज्जीएल थिए। 15 तब, यी लेवीहरूले आफ्ना दाज्यू-भाइहरूलाई पनि तिनीहरू सित भेला गरे अनि स्वयंलाई पवित्र सेवाका निम्ति तयार पारे। तिनीहरूले राजाका आदेशको पालन गरे जो परमप्रभुबाट आएको थियो। तिनीहरूले यसलाई शुद्ध पार्नका निम्ति परमप्रभुको मन्दिर भित्र गए। 16 पूजाहारीहरू परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको भित्री भाग शुद्ध गर्न गए। तिनीहरूले भेट्टाएका सबै अशुद्ध चीज-बीजहरू निकाले। तिनीहरूले अशुद्ध चीज-बीजहरू परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको आँगनमा ल्याए। तब लेवीहरूले ती अशुद्ध चीज-बीजहरू बाहिर किद्रोन बेंसीमा लगे। 17 पहिलो महीनाको पहिलो दिनमा लेवीहरूले स्वयंलाई पवित्र सेवाका निम्ति तयार पार्न शुरू गरे। त्यो महीनाको आठौं दिनमा लेवीहरू परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको दलानमा आए। अझ आठ दिन तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरलाई पवित्र प्रयोगका निम्ति तयार पार्नका निम्ति सफा गरे। तिनीहरूले पहिलो महीनाको सोह्रौं दिनमा काम पूर्ण गरे। 18 तब तिनीहरू राजा हिजकियाह कहाँ गए। तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “राजा हिजकियाह, हामीले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको, होमबलिको वेदी अनि मन्दिरका सबै चीजहरू सफा गर्यौं। हामीले रोटीका लहर राख्ने मेच त्यस मेच सित प्रयोग गरिने सबै चीहरू सहित सफा गर्यौं। 19 आहाज राजा रहेको समयमा तिनले परमेश्वरको विरूद्ध विद्रोह गरे। तिनले मन्दिरमा भएका धेरै चीजहरू फ्याँकी दिए। तर हामीले ती सबै चीजहरू राखि दियौं अनि तिनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूको विशेष प्रयोगका निम्ति तयार पार्यौं। अहिले तिनीहरू परमप्रभुको वेदी सामुन्ने छन्।” 20 राजा हिजकियाहले शहर अधिकारीहरूलाई भेला गरे अनि भोलि पल्ट बिहानै परमप्रभुको मन्दिर सम्म गए। 21 तिनीहरूले सातवटा गोरूहरू सातवटा भेडाहरू, सातवटा भेडाका थुमाहरू अनि सातवटा भेडका पाठाहरू ल्याए। यी पशुहरू राज्यका पापबलिको निम्ति थिए, पवित्र स्थानलाई शुद्ध तुल्याउन अनि यहूदाका मानिसहरूका निम्ति थिए। राजा हिजकियाहले ती पशुहरूलाई परमप्रभुको वेदीमाथि अर्पण गर्नु भनी पूजाहारीहरूलाई आज्ञा दिए जो हारूनका सन्तानहरू थिए, तिनीहरूलाई आदेश दिए। 22 यसर्थ पूजाहारीहरूले गोरूहरूलाई मारे अनि रगत लिए। त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले गोरूको रगत वेदीमा छर्किदिए। तब पूजाहारीहरूले भेंडाका पाठाहरू मारे अनि भेंडाका पाठाको रगत वेदीमा छर्किदिए। 23 त्यस पछि पूजाहारीहरूले बाख्राहरूलाई राजा र भेला भएका मानिसहरूको सामुन्ने ल्याए। ती बाख्राहरू पाप बलि थिए। पूजाहारीहरूले आफ्ना हात बाख्रा माथि राखे अनि बाख्राहरूलाई मारे। पूजाहारीहरूले बाख्राको रगत द्वारा वेदीमा पाप बलि अर्पम गरे। तिनीहरूले यसो गरे जसद्वारा परमेश्वरले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको पापलाई क्षमा गरिदिनुहुनेछ। राजाले भने कि त्यो होमबलि अनि पाप बलि इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरूका निम्ति हुनु पर्छ। 25 राजा हिजकियाहले लेवीहरूलाई दाऊद, राजाका दर्शी गाद अनि अगमवक्ता नातानले आदेश गरेका प्रकारले, झ्याम्टा, सितार अनि वीणाहरू सहित परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा राखे। यो आदेश उहाँका अगमवक्ता मार्फत परमप्रभुबाट आएको हो। 26 यसर्थ लेवीहरू दाऊदका वाद्य यन्त्रहरू सहित अनि पूजाहारीहरू आफ्ना तुरहीहरू सहित उभिए। 27 तब हिजकियाहले वेदीमा होमबलि चढाउने आदेश दिए। जब होमबलि शुरू भयो परमप्रभुको स्तुति गान पनि शुरू भयो। तुरहीहरू फुके अनि इस्राएलका राजा दाऊदका बाजा बजाइए। 28 सम्पूर्ण सभाले शिर झुकाए, संङ्गीतकारहरूले गाए अनि तुरही बजाउनेहरूले आ-आफ्ना तुरही होमबलि पूर्ण नभएसम्म बजाए। 29 बलिदानहरू पूरा भए पछि राजा हिजकियाह अनि तिनका साथ भएका सबै मानिसहरू तल झुके र आराधना गरे। 30 राजा हिजकियाह अनि तिनका अधिकारीहरूले लेवीहरूलाई परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर्ने आज्ञा दिए। तिनीहरूले ती गीतहरू गाए जो दाऊद अनि दर्शी आसापले लेखेका थिए। तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गरे अनि प्रशन्न भए। तिनीहरू सबै झुके र परमेश्वरको आराधना गरे। 31 हिजकियाहले भने, “अब यहूदाका मानिसहरू तिमीहरूले स्वयंलाई परमप्रभु प्रति अर्पण गरिसकेकाछौ। नजिक आऊ बलि र धन्यवादको भेटी परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा ल्याऊ।” तब मानिसहरूले बलिहरू अनि धन्यवादका भेटीहरू ल्याए। कुनै पनि व्यक्ति जसले चाहन्थे, तिनीहरूले पनि होमबलि ल्याए। 32 सभाले मन्दिरमा ल्याएका होमबलिहरू यी हुन्; 70 गोरूहरू, 100वटा भेडाहरू अनि 200 भेडाका थुमाहरू। यी सबै पशुहरूलाई परमप्रभुका निम्ति होमबलिको रूपमा बलिदान गरिए। 33 परमप्रभुको निम्ति पवित्र भेटीहरू 600 गोरूहरू अनि 3,000 भेडा अनि बाख्रहरू थिए। 34 तर त्यहाँ होमबलिका निम्ति पशुहरूको छाला काढ्ने अनि पशुहरूलाई काट्ने पर्याप्त पूजाहारीहरू थिएनन्। यसर्थ तिनीहरूका आफन्तहरू, लेवीहरूले काम नसकुञ्जेल अनि अन्य पूजाहारीहरूले स्वयंलाई पवित्र सेवाका निम्ति तयार नपारूञ्जेल तिनीहरूलाई सहायता गरे। तिनीहरू स्वयंलाई परमप्रभुको सेवाका निम्ति तयार गर्न लेवीहरू अधिक ध्यान मग्न थिए। तिनीहरू पूजाहारीहरू भन्दा अधिक ध्यान मग्न थिए। 35 त्यहाँ अनेक होमबलि, अनि मेलबलिको बोसो अनि अर्घबलिहरू थिए। यसरी परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा सेवा कार्य फेरि शुरू भयो। 36 हिजकियाह अनि मानिसहरू अति प्रशन्न थिए परमेश्वरले मानिसहरूका निम्ति प्रस्तुत गर्नु भएका कुराहरूको बारेमा। अनि तिनीहरू उहाँले यति चाँडो गर्नु भएकोमा खुशी थिए।
