Then Hezekiah declared,“ Now that you have consecrated yourselves to the Lord, bring your sacrifices and thanksgiving offerings to the Temple of the Lord.” So the people brought their sacrifices and thanksgiving offerings, and all whose hearts were willing brought burnt offerings, too.The people brought to the Lord 70 bulls, 100 rams, and 200 male lambs for burnt offerings.They also brought 600 cattle and 3,000 sheep and goats as sacred offerings.

Whatever you give is acceptable if you give it eagerly. And give according to what you have, not what you don’t have.

Eleazar’s descendants were divided into sixteen groups and Ithamar’s into eight, for there were more family leaders among the descendants of Eleazar.All tasks were assigned to the various groups by means of sacred lots so that no preference would be shown, for there were many qualified officials serving God in the sanctuary from among the descendants of both Eleazar and Ithamar.

And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had.They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need.

There were no needy people among them, because those who owned land or houses would sell themand bring the money to the apostles to give to those in need.

While they were bringing out the money collected at the Lord’s Temple, Hilkiah the priest found the Book of the Law of the Lord that was written by Moses.Hilkiah said to Shaphan the court secretary,“ I have found the Book of the Law in the Lord’s Temple!” Then Hilkiah gave the scroll to Shaphan.Shaphan took the scroll to the king and reported,“ Your officials are doing everything they were assigned to do.The money that was collected at the Temple of the Lord has been turned over to the supervisors and workmen.”Shaphan also told the king,“ Hilkiah the priest has given me a scroll.” So Shaphan read it to the king.When the king heard what was written in the Law, he tore his clothes in despair.Then he gave these orders to Hilkiah, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Acbor son of Micaiah, Shaphan the court secretary, and Asaiah the king’s personal adviser:

You wrote to Zephaniah,“ The Lord has appointed you to replace Jehoiada as the priest in charge of the house of the Lord. You are responsible to put into stocks and neck irons any crazy man who claims to be a prophet.

Then the family leaders, the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the generals and captains of the army, and the king’s administrative officers all gave willingly.For the construction of the Temple of God, they gave about 188 tons of gold, 10,000 gold coins, 375 tons of silver, 675 tons of bronze, and 3,750 tons of iron.They also contributed numerous precious stones, which were deposited in the treasury of the house of the Lord under the care of Jehiel, a descendant of Gershon.The people rejoiced over the offerings, for they had given freely and wholeheartedly to the Lord, and King David was filled with joy.

to be in charge of transporting the silver, the gold, the gold bowls, and the other items that the king, his council, his officials, and all the people of Israel had presented for the Temple of God.I weighed the treasure as I gave it to them and found the totals to be as follows: 24 tons of silver, 7,500 pounds of silver articles, 7,500 pounds of gold,20 gold bowls, equal in value to 1,000 gold coins, 2 fine articles of polished bronze, as precious as gold.And I said to these priests,“ You and these treasures have been set apart as holy to the Lord. This silver and gold is a voluntary offering to the Lord, the God of our ancestors.Guard these treasures well until you present them to the leading priests, the Levites, and the leaders of Israel, who will weigh them at the storerooms of the Lord’s Temple in Jerusalem.”So the priests and the Levites accepted the task of transporting these treasures of silver and gold to the Temple of our God in Jerusalem.We broke camp at the Ahava Canal on April 19 and started off to Jerusalem.

When they arrived at the Temple of the Lord in Jerusalem, some of the family leaders made voluntary offerings toward the rebuilding of God’s Temple on its original site,and each leader gave as much as he could. The total of their gifts came to 61,000 gold coins, 6,250 pounds of silver, and 100 robes for the priests.
