32:13. And after him Jehiel, and Azarias, and Nahath, and Asael, and
Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Jesmachias, and Mahath, and
Banaias, overseers under the hand of Chonenias, and Semei his brother,
by the commandment of Ezechias the king, and Azarias the high priest of
the house of God, to whom all things appertained.
32:14. But Core the son of Jemna the Levite, the porter of the east
gate, was overseer of the things which were freely offered to the Lord,
and of the firstfruits and the things dedicated for the holy of holies.
32:15. And under his charge were Eden, and Benjamin, Jesue, and Semeias,
and Amarias, and Sechenias, in the cities of the priests, to distribute
faithfully portions to their brethren, both little and great:
32:16. Besides the males from three years old and upward, to all that
went into the temple of the Lord, and whatsoever there was need of in
the ministry, and their offices according to their courses, day by day.
32:17. To the priests by their families, and to the Levites from the
twentieth year and upward, by their classes and companies.
32:18. And to all the multitude, both to their wives, and to their
children of both sexes, victuals were given faithfully out of the things
that had been sanctified.
32:19. Also of the sons of Aaron who were in the fields and in the
suburbs of each city, there were men appointed, to distribute portions
to all the males, among the priests and the Levites.

wrought that which was good, and right, and truth, before the Lord his
God,
32:21. In all the service of the house of the Lord according to the law
and the ceremonies, desiring to seek his God with all his heart, and he
did it and prospered.
2 Paralipomenon Chapter 33
Manasses for his manifold wickedness is led captive to Babylon: he
repenteth, and is restored to his kingdom, and destroyeth idolatry: his
successor Amon is slain by his servants.
33:1. Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he
reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
33:2. And he did evil before the Lord, according to all the abominations
of the nations, which the Lord cast out before the children of Israel:
33:3. And he turned, and built again the high places which Ezechias his
father had destroyed: and he built altars to Baalim, and made groves,
and he adored all the host of heaven, and worshipped them.
The host of heaven... The sun, moon, and stars.
33:4. He built also altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord
had said: In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
33:5. And he built them for all the host of heaven in the two courts of
the house of the Lord.
33:6. And he made his sons to pass through the fire in the valley of
Benennom: he observed dreams, followed divinations, gave himself up to
magic arts, had with him magicians, and enchanters: and he wrought many
evils before the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
