[13]And of the lastH314 sonsH1121 of AdonikamH140, whose namesH8034 are these, ElipheletH467, JeielH3273, and ShemaiahH8098, and with them threescoreH8346 malesH2145.
[14]Of the sonsH1121 also of BigvaiH902; UthaiH5793, and ZabbudH2072[H8675][H2139], and with them seventyH7657 malesH2145.
[15]And I gathered them togetherH6908[H8799] to the riverH5104 that runnethH935[H8802] to AhavaH163; and there abode we in tentsH2583[H8799] threeH7969 daysH3117: and I viewedH995[H8799] the peopleH5971, and the priestsH3548, and foundH4672[H8804] there none of the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878.
[16]Then sentH7971[H8799] I for EliezerH461, for ArielH740, for ShemaiahH8098, and for ElnathanH494, and for JaribH3402, and for ElnathanH494, and for NathanH5416, and for ZechariahH2148, and for MeshullamH4918, chief menH7218; also for JoiaribH3114, and for ElnathanH494, men of understandingH995.[H8688]
[17]And I sentH6680[H8762] them with commandmentH3318[H8686] unto IddoH112 the chiefH7218 at the placeH4725 CasiphiaH3703, and I toldH7760[H8799][H6310] them whatH1697 they should sayH1696[H8763] unto IddoH112, and to his brethrenH251 the NethinimsH5411[H8675][H5411], at the placeH4725 CasiphiaH3703, that they should bringH935[H8687] unto us ministersH8334[H8764] for the houseH1004 of our GodH430.
[18]And by the goodH2896 handH3027 of our GodH430 upon us they broughtH935[H8686] us a manH376 of understandingH7922, of the sonsH1121 of MahliH4249, the sonH1121 of LeviH3878, the sonH1121 of IsraelH3478; and SherebiahH8274, with his sonsH1121 and his brethrenH251, H8083eighteenH6240
[19]And HashabiahH2811, and with him JeshaiahH3470 of the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847, his brethrenH251 and their sonsH1121, twentyH6242;
[20]Also of the NethinimsH5411, whom DavidH1732 and the princesH8269 had appointedH5414[H8804] for the serviceH5656 of the LevitesH3881, two hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 NethinimsH5411: all of them were expressedH5344[H8738] by nameH8034.
[21]Then I proclaimedH7121[H8799] a fastH6685 there, at the riverH5104 of AhavaH163, that we might afflictH6031[H8692] ourselves beforeH6440 our GodH430, to seekH1245[H8763] of him a rightH3477 wayH1870 for us, and for our little onesH2945, and for all our substanceH7399.
[22]For I was ashamedH954[H8804] to requireH7592[H8800] of the kingH4428 a band of soldiersH2428 and horsemenH6571 to helpH5826[H8800] us against the enemyH341[H8802] in the wayH1870: because we had spokenH559[H8804] unto the kingH4428, sayingH559[H8800], The handH3027 of our GodH430 is upon all them for goodH2896 that seekH1245[H8764] him; but his powerH5797 and his wrathH639 is against all them that forsakeH5800 himH8802.
[23]So we fastedH6684[H8799] and besoughtH1245[H8762] our GodH430 for this: and he was intreatedH6279 of usH8735.
[24]Then I separatedH914[H8686] twelveH8147[H6240] of the chiefH8269 of the priestsH3548, SherebiahH8274, HashabiahH2811, and tenH6235 of their brethren with themH251,
[25]And weighedH8254[H8799] unto them the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and the vesselsH3627, even the offeringH8641 of the houseH1004 of our GodH430, which the kingH4428, and his counsellorsH3289[H8802], and his lordsH8269, and all IsraelH3478 there presentH4672[H8737], had offeredH7311:[H8689]
[26]I even weighedH8254[H8799] unto their handH3027 sixH8337 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 talentsH3603 of silverH3701, and silverH3701 vesselsH3627 an hundredH3967 talentsH3603, and of goldH2091 an hundredH3967 talentsH3603;
[27]Also twentyH6242 basonsH3713 of goldH2091, of a thousandH505 dramsH150; and twoH8147 vesselsH3627 of fineH2896[H6668][H8716] copperH5178, preciousH2532 as goldH2091.
[28]And I saidH559[H8799] unto them, Ye are holyH6944 unto the LORDH3068; the vesselsH3627 are holyH6944 also; and the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 are a freewill offeringH5071 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1.
[29]WatchH8245[H8798] ye, and keepH8104[H8798] them, until ye weighH8254[H8799] them beforeH6440 the chiefH8269 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and chiefH8269 of the fathersH1 of IsraelH3478, at JerusalemH3389, in the chambersH3957 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
[30]So tookH6901[H8765] the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 the weightH4948 of the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and the vesselsH3627, to bringH935[H8687] them to JerusalemH3389 unto the houseH1004 of our GodH430.
[31]Then we departedH5265[H8799] from the riverH5104 of AhavaH163 on the twelfthH8147[H6240] day of the firstH7223 monthH2320, to goH3212[H8800] unto JerusalemH3389: and the handH3027 of our GodH430 was upon us, and he deliveredH5337[H8686] us from the handH3709 of the enemyH341[H8802], and of such as lay in waitH693[H8802] by the wayH1870.
[32]And we cameH935[H8799] to JerusalemH3389, and abodeH3427[H8799] there threeH7969 daysH3117.
[33]Now on the fourthH7243 dayH3117 was the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 and the vesselsH3627 weighedH8254[H8738] in the houseH1004 of our GodH430 by the handH3027 of MeremothH4822 the sonH1121 of UriahH223 the priestH3548; and with him was EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of PhinehasH6372; and with them was JozabadH3107 the sonH1121 of JeshuaH3442, and NoadiahH5129 the sonH1121 of BinnuiH1131, LevitesH3881;
[34]By numberH4557 and by weightH4948 of every one: and all the weightH4948 was writtenH3789[H8735] at that timeH6256.
[35]Also the childrenH1121 of those that had been carried awayH1473, which were come outH935[H8802] of the captivityH7628, offeredH7126[H8689] burnt offeringsH5930 unto the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, twelveH8147[H6240] bullocksH6499 for all IsraelH3478, ninetyH8673 and sixH8337 ramsH352, seventyH7657 and sevenH7651 lambsH3532, twelveH8147[H6240] he goatsH6842 for a sin offeringH2403: all this was a burnt offeringH5930 unto the LORDH3068.
[36]And they deliveredH5414[H8799] the king'sH4428 commissionsH1881 unto the king'sH4428 lieutenantsH323, and to the governorsH6346 on this sideH5676 the riverH5104: and they furtheredH5375[H8765] the peopleH5971, and the houseH1004 of GodH430.
