📚 About this Book
✦ Chapter Overview

Second Chronicles 31 records that after the great Passover, all Israel went out and smashed the sacred pillars, cut down the Asherim, and tore down the high places and altars throughout Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh before returning home. Hezekiah then reorganizes the priests and Levites by their courses, provides the king's portion for the morning, evening, Sabbath, new-moon, and feast offerings, and commands the people to give the priests' and Levites' portions so they could devote themselves to the law of the Lord. The people respond with overwhelming generosity, bringing the firstfruits and tithes in great heaps, and faithful administrators distribute the portions to all the priests and Levites, so that Hezekiah did what was good, right, and true before God with all his heart and prospered.

🔍 Text
(1) Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.
