For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, The good
Yahweh pardon everyone
030:019 who sets his heart to seek God, Yahweh, the God of his fathers,
though not [cleansed] according to the purification
of the sanctuary.
030:020 Yahweh listened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
030:021 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 Yahweh day by day,
[singing] with loud instruments to Yahweh.
030:022 Hezekiah spoke comfortably to all the Levites who had good
understanding [in the service] of Yahweh. So they ate
throughout the feast for the seven days, offering sacrifices
of peace offerings, and making confession to Yahweh, the God
of their fathers.
030:023 The whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days;
and they kept [other] seven days with gladness.
030:024 For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the assembly for offerings
one thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep; and the princes
gave to the assembly a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep:

Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to

031:002 Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites
after their divisions, every man according to his service,

and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks,
and to praise in the gates of the camp of Yahweh.
031:003 [He appointed] also the king's portion of his substance for
the burnt offerings, [to wit], for the morning and evening
