King Hezekiah’s Righteous Conduct
Do not be misled by Paul’s and the rest of the Apostles’ teachings against G-d’s Commandments.
G-d’s Torah, Instructions, Laws, Statutes, Decrees, Ordinances and Precepts will remain, even during the time of the Messiah.
No to idolatry! Worship of Jesus, Trinity, Triune or 3-in-1 G-d!
“Idolatry Destroyed”
“Seeking Out G-d, His Commandments and Acts Accordingly”
… all the people of Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and smashed the pillars, cut down the asherah-trees and dismantled the high places and the altars …until they were completely eradicated. …
31:1
A grant from the king, from his own possessions, paid for the burnt-offerings — for the burnt-offerings of the morning and the afternoon and the burnt-offerings of Sabbaths, New Moons and Festivals, as written in the Torah of Hashem.
31:3
He told the people, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to give the portion of the Kohanim and the Levites, so that they could strengthen themselves in the Torah of Hashem.
:4
As the Children of Israel and Judah who lived in the cities of Judah, they also brought tithes of cattle and sheep, … Everything was piled into heaps.
:6
Hezekiah had this done in all of Judah. He did what was good and proper and truthful before Hashem his God.
:20
With all his deeds that he undertook in the service of the Temple of God, in the Torah and the commandments, to seek out his God, he acted with all his heart, and he succeeded.
:21
1 And when they completed all this, all the Israelites who were present went out to the cities of Judah, and they smashed the monuments and cut down the asherim, and they demolished the high places and the altars from all Judah and Benjamin and in Ephraim and Manasseh until they had completely destroyed [them], and all the Children of Israel returned, each man to his inheritance, to their cities.
2 And Hezekiah stationed the divisions of the priests and the Levites in their divisions each man according to his service, for the priests and for the Levites; for burnt-offerings and for peace- offerings, to minister and to thank and praise in the gates of the camps of the Lord.
3 And the king’s portion from his possessions for the burnt- offerings, for the burnt-offerings of the morning and the evening and the burnt-offerings for the Sabbaths and for the New Moons and for the appointed seasons, as is written in the Law of the Lord.
4 And he commanded the inhabitants of Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, in order that they be strengthened in the Law of the Lord.
5 And when the word burst forth, the Children of Israel increased the first of corn, wine, oil, honey, and all the increase of the field, and the tithes of everything they brought in abundance.
6 And the Children of Israel and Judah who lived in the cities of Judah-they too brought tithes of large cattle and small cattle and the tithes of sacred things consecrated to the Lord their God, and they gave many stacks.
7 In the third month, they commenced to lay the foundations of the stacks, and in the seventh month they finished.
8 And Hezekiah and his officers came, and they saw the stacks, and they blessed the Lord and His people Israel.
9 And Hezekiah demanded of the priests and the Levites concerning the stacks.
10 And Azariah, the chief priest of the house of Zadok, said to him, and he said, “From the beginning of bringing the heave-offering to the House of the Lord, we ate to satiety and left over in abundance, for the Lord had blessed His people, and what is left over is this abundance.”
11 And Hezekiah ordered to prepare the chambers in the House of the Lord, and they prepared [them].
12 And they brought the heave-offerings and the tithes and the sacred things faithfully, and over them was the ruler, Conaniah the Levite, and Shimei his brother, the second in command.
13 And Jehiel and Azaziah and Nahath and Asahel and Jerimoth and Jozabad and Eliel and Ismachiah and Mahath and Benaiah, appointees under the jurisdiction of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the command of King Hezekiah and Azariah the ruler of the House of God.
14 And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the gate sentry of the East Gate was over the donations of God, to give the heave-offering of the Lord and the most holy of the sacred things.
15 And next to him were Eden and Minjamin and Jeshua and Shemaiah, Amariah and Shechaniah in the cities of the priests in offices of trust, to give their brethren in the divisions, to the great as to the small.
16 Besides those who traced their genealogy, of the males from three years old and upwards, for everyone who comes to the House of the Lord, for his daily necessities, for their service in their watches, according to their divisions.
17 And the priests who traced their genealogy to the house of their fathers, and the Levites from twenty years old and upwards, in their watches, in their divisions.
18 And for all those whose genealogy was traced, concerning all their infants, their wives, and their sons and daughters, of every congregation, for with their faith they consecrated the holy things.
19 And for the sons of Aaron the priests, in the fields of the open land of their cities, in every city, were men who were mentioned by names, to give portions to every male among the priests and to all who traced their lineage among the Levites.
20 And Hezekiah did accordingly in all the cities of Judah, and he did what was good and proper and true before the Lord his God.
21 And in every deed that he commenced in the service of the House of God and in the Law and in the commandment, to seek God; he did with all his heart and prospered.
