15 And I gathered them together <06908> (8799) to the river <05104> that runneth <0935> (8802) to Ahava <0163> ; and there abode we in tents <02583> (8799) three <07969> days <03117>: and I viewed <0995> (8799) the people <05971>, and the priests <03548>, and found <04672> (8804) there none of the sons <01121> of Levi <03878>.
16 Then sent <07971> (8799) I for Eliezer <0461>, for Ariel <0740>, for Shemaiah <08098>, and for Elnathan <0494>, and for Jarib <03402>, and for Elnathan <0494>, and for Nathan <05416>, and for Zechariah <02148>, and for Meshullam <04918> , chief men <07218>; also for Joiarib <03114>, and for Elnathan <0494>, men of understanding <0995> (8688).
17 And I sent <06680> (8762) them with commandment <03318> (8686) unto Iddo <0112> the chief <07218> at the place <04725> Casiphia <03703>, and I told <07760> (8799) <06310> them what <01697> they should say <01696> (8763) unto Iddo <0112>, and to his brethren <0251> the Nethinims <05411> (8675) <05411>, at the place <04725> Casiphia <03703>, that they should bring <0935> (8687) unto us ministers <08334> (8764) for the house <01004> of our God <0430>.
18 And by the good <02896> hand <03027> of our God <0430> upon us they brought <0935> (8686) us a man <0376> of understanding <07922>, of the sons <01121> of Mahli <04249>, the son <01121> of Levi <03878>, the son <01121> of Israel <03478>; and Sherebiah <08274>, with his sons <01121> and his brethren <0251>, eighteen <08083> <06240>;
19 And Hashabiah <02811>, and with him Jeshaiah <03470> of the sons <01121> of Merari <04847>, his brethren <0251> and their sons <01121>, twenty <06242>;
20 Also of the Nethinims <05411>, whom David <01732> and the princes <08269> had appointed <05414> (8804) for the service <05656> of the Levites <03881>, two hundred <03967> and twenty <06242> Nethinims <05411>: all of them were expressed <05344> (8738) by name <08034>.
21 # Then I proclaimed <07121> (8799) a fast <06685> there, at the river <05104> of Ahava <0163>, that we might afflict <06031> (8692) ourselves before <06440> our God <0430>, to seek <01245> (8763) of him a right <03477> way <01870> for us, and for our little ones <02945>, and for all our substance <07399>.
22 For I was ashamed <0954> (8804) to require <07592> (8800) of the king <04428> a band of soldiers <02428> and horsemen <06571> to help <05826> (8800) us against the enemy <0341> (8802) in the way <01870>: because we had spoken <0559> (8804) unto the king <04428>, saying <0559> (8800), The hand <03027> of our God <0430> is upon all them for good <02896> that seek <01245> (8764) him; but his power <05797> and his wrath <0639> is against all them that forsake <05800> (8802) him.
23 So we fasted <06684> (8799) and besought <01245> (8762) our God <0430> for this: and he was intreated <06279> (8735) of us.
24 # Then I separated <0914> (8686) twelve <08147> <06240> of the chief <08269> of the priests <03548> , Sherebiah <08274>, Hashabiah <02811>, and ten <06235> of their brethren <0251> with them,
25 And weighed <08254> (8799) unto them the silver <03701>, and the gold <02091>, and the vessels <03627>, even the offering <08641> of the house <01004> of our God <0430>, which the king <04428>, and his counsellors <03289> (8802) , and his lords <08269>, and all Israel <03478> there present <04672> (8737), had offered <07311> (8689):
26 I even weighed <08254> (8799) unto their hand <03027> six <08337> hundred <03967> and fifty <02572> talents <03603> of silver <03701>, and silver <03701> vessels <03627> an hundred <03967> talents <03603>, and of gold <02091> an hundred <03967> talents <03603>;
27 Also twenty <06242> basons <03713> of gold <02091>, of a thousand <0505> drams <0150>; and two <08147> vessels <03627> of fine <02896> <06668> (8716) copper <05178>, precious <02532> as gold <02091>.
28 And I said <0559> (8799) unto them, Ye are holy <06944> unto the LORD <03068>; the vessels <03627> are holy <06944> also; and the silver <03701> and the gold <02091> are a freewill offering <05071> unto the LORD <03068> God <0430> of your fathers <01>.
29 Watch <08245> (8798) ye, and keep <08104> (8798) them, until ye weigh <08254> (8799) them before <06440> the chief <08269> of the priests <03548> and the Levites <03881>, and chief <08269> of the fathers <01> of Israel <03478>, at Jerusalem <03389>, in the chambers <03957> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.
30 So took <06901> (8765) the priests <03548> and the Levites <03881> the weight <04948> of the silver <03701> , and the gold <02091>, and the vessels <03627>, to bring <0935> (8687) them to Jerusalem <03389> unto the house <01004> of our God <0430>.
31 # Then we departed <05265> (8799) from the river <05104> of Ahava <0163> on the twelfth <08147> <06240> day of the first <07223> month <02320>, to go <03212> (8800) unto Jerusalem <03389>: and the hand <03027> of our God <0430> was upon us, and he delivered <05337> (8686) us from the hand <03709> of the enemy <0341> (8802), and of such as lay in wait <0693> (8802) by the way <01870>.
32 And we came <0935> (8799) to Jerusalem <03389>, and abode <03427> (8799) there three <07969> days <03117>.
33 Now on the fourth <07243> day <03117> was the silver <03701> and the gold <02091> and the vessels <03627> weighed <08254> (8738) in the house <01004> of our God <0430> by the hand <03027> of Meremoth <04822> the son <01121> of Uriah <0223> the priest <03548>; and with him was Eleazar <0499> the son <01121> of Phinehas <06372>; and with them was Jozabad <03107> the son <01121> of Jeshua <03442>, and Noadiah <05129> the son <01121> of Binnui <01131>, Levites <03881> ;
34 By number <04557> and by weight <04948> of every one: and all the weight <04948> was written <03789> (8735) at that time <06256>.
35 Also the children <01121> of those that had been carried away <01473>, which were come out <0935> (8802) of the captivity <07628>, offered <07126> (8689) burnt offerings <05930> unto the God <0430> of Israel <03478>, twelve <08147> <06240> bullocks <06499> for all Israel <03478>, ninety <08673> and six <08337> rams <0352>, seventy <07657> and seven <07651> lambs <03532>, twelve <08147> <06240> he goats <06842> for a sin offering <02403>: all this was a burnt offering <05930> unto the LORD <03068>.
36 And they delivered <05414> (8799) the king's <04428> commissions <01881> unto the king's <04428> lieutenants <0323>, and to the governors <06346> on this side <05676> the river <05104>: and they furthered <05375> (8765) the people <05971>, and the house <01004> of God <0430>.
