⁸ I have commanded also, what shall be done to the Elders of Judah for the building of the house of God, that there shall diligently be taken of the king's goods, even of the rents beyond the water, and given unto the men, and that they be not hindered. ⁹ And if they have need of calves, lambs, or goats, for the burnt offering unto the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine and oil, after the custom of the priests at Jerusalem, there shall be given them daily as is according: and see that this be done without fault,

²⁰ And whatsoever thing more shall be needful for the house of thy God, which is necessary for thee to spend, let the same be given out of the king's chamber. ²¹ I king Artaxerxes have commanded all the treasurers beyond the water, that look: whatsoever Ezra, the priest and scribe in the law of the God of heaven, requireth of you; that ye fulfill the same diligently, ²² until a hundred talents of silver, until a hundred quarters of wheat, and until a hundred baths of wine, and till a hundred baths of oil, and salt without measure. ²³ Whatsoever belongeth to the law of the God of heaven, let the same be done with diligence for the house of the God of heaven, that there come no wrath upon the king's realm and his children. ²⁴ And known be it unto you, that ye shall have no authority to require taxing and custom, yearly rents upon any of the priests, Levites, singers, porters, Nethinims, and ministers in the house of this God.

⁴⁷ In the time of Zerubbabel, and Nehemiah, did all Israel give portions unto the singers and porters, every day his portion, and they gave things hallowed unto the Levites, and the Levites gave things that were sanctified, unto the children of Aaron.

³⁰ And afterward came out his brother that had the red thread about his hand, which was called Zerah.

¹⁷ and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites and the eldest sons of David waited at the king's hand.

²⁸ "To wait at the hands of the sons of Aaron in the service of the house of the LORD, and to have the oversight of the courts and of the store houses, and of the purifying of all holy things, and of the work of the things that served for the house of God,

²¹ Meshezabel, Zadok, Jaddua,

¹⁵ And the name of Hebron was called in old time, Kiriatharba, which was a huge man among the Anakims. And the land ceased from war.

²¹ And the cities of the tribe of the children of Judah in all quarters, toward the coasts of Edom southward, were: Kabzeel, Eder, and Jagur; ²² Kinah, Dimonah, and Adadah;

²⁶ Amam, Shema, and Moladah; ²⁷ Hazargaddah, Heshmon, and Bethpelet;

² And their inheritance was Beersheba, Sheba, and Moladah;

³¹ Wherefore the place is called Beersheba, because they sware both of them.

³³ And he called it Sheba, wherefore the name of the city is called Beersheba unto this day.

²⁸ Hazarshual, Beersheba, and Bazjothjah;

³ Hazarshual, Balah, and Ezem,

¹ Then all the children of Israel went out: and there gathered a congregation together as it had been but one man, even from Dan to Beersheba and out of the land of Gilead, unto the land to Mizpeh.

³¹ Ziklag, Madmannah, and Sansannah;

⁶ Then Achish gave him Ziklag the same day; for which cause Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day.

¹¹ The king of Jarmuth; the king of Lachish;

³² Lebaoth, Shilhim, Ain, and Rimmon: all these cities are twenty and nine with their villages. ³³ And in the low country they had Eshtaol, Zorah, and Ashnah;

³⁵ Jarmuth, Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah;

⁴¹ And the coasts of their inheritance was Zorah, Eshtaol, Irshemesh,

²⁵ And the spirit of the LORD began first to be with the house of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.

³ Wherefore Adonizedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,

¹⁵ The king of Libnah; The king of Adullam;

⁸ And then went up to the valley of the son of Hinnom, even unto the south side of the Jebusites the inhabiters of Jerusalem. And then went up to the top of the hill that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, and by the edge of the valley of Rephaim northward;

³⁴ Zanoah, Engannim, Tappuah and Enam; ³⁵ Jarmuth, Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah;

³⁹ Lachish, Bozkath, and Eglon;

¹⁶ and cometh down to the edge of the hill that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom which is in the valley of Rephaim northward, and descendeth through the valley of Hinnom unto the side of Jebusi southward and goeth down to the well of Rogel.

¹⁰ And he defiled Tophet also, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, because no man should offer his son or his daughter in fire to Moloch.

¹³ The valley gate builded Hanun, and the citizens of Zanoah. They builded it, and set on the doors, locks and bars thereof, and a thousand cubits on the wall, unto the Dung port.

⁸ Now when Rabshakeh returned, he found the king of Assyria laying siege to Libnah; for he had understood that he was departed from Lachish.

³¹ They have also builded an altar at Tophet, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom: that they might burn their sons and daughters - which I never commanded them, neither came it ever in my thought. ³² And therefore behold, the days shall come, sayeth the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet, or the valley of the children of Hinnom, but the valley of the slain - for in Tophet they shall be buried, because they shall else have no room.

² into the valley of the children of Hinnom, which lieth before the port that is made of brick, and show them there the words, that I shall tell thee,

⁶ Behold therefore, the time cometh, sayeth the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the children of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter.

³⁵ They have builded high places for Baal in the valley of the children of Hinnom, to cause their sons and daughters to pass through fire in honor of Moloch: which I never commanded them, neither came it ever in my thought, to make Judah sin with such abomination.

¹⁵ And as for thee, O thou that dwellest at Mareshah, I shall bring a possession upon thee, and the plague of Israel shall reach unto Adullam.

⁸ Then departed he thence unto a mountain that lieth on the east side of Bethel and pitched his tent — Bethel being on the west side, and Ai on the east — and he built there an altar unto the LORD, and called on the name of the LORD.

¹⁹ And he called the name of the place Bethel, for indeed the name of the city was called Luz before time.

⁹ And Joshua sent them forth, and they went to lie await, and lay between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai. But Joshua lodged that night among the people.

¹³ and went from thence to the south side of Luz, otherwise called Bethel: and descended to Atarothaddar upon the hill that lieth on the south side of the nether Bethhoron.

²⁴ Chepharammoni, Ophni, and Geba: Twelve cities with their villages.

¹¹ And Saul said, "Because I saw that the people scattered from me, and yet thou camest not within the days appointed — and that the Philistines gathered themselves together to Michmash -

²³ And the Garrison of the Philistines came out and stood on the other side before Michmash.

³⁰ The men of Ramah and Geba, six hundred and one and twenty; ³¹ The men of Michmash, a hundred and two and twenty; ³² The men of Bethel and Ai, a hundred and three and twenty;

²⁸ He shall come to Aiath, and go through toward Migron. But at Michmash shall he muster his Host,

¹⁸ Anathoth with her suburbs; Almon with her suburbs: Four cities.

¹ Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest. And Ahimelech was astonished at his coming, and said unto him, "Why cometh thou thyself alone, and no man with thee?"

¹⁹ And Nob, the city of the priests, he smote with the edge of the sword: both man and woman, child and suckling, with ox, ass and sheep.

²⁷ The men of Anathoth, a hundred and eight and twenty;

³⁰ The voice of the noise of thy horses, O daughter of Gallim, shall be heard unto Laish and to Anathoth, which also shall be in trouble.

³² yet shall he remain at Nob that day. After that, shall he lift up his hand against the mount Zion, against the hill of Jerusalem.

¹ These are the Sermons of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah the Priest, one of them that dwelt at Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:

²⁵ Gibeon, Ramah, and Beeroth;

¹⁷ for there was his house, and there he judged Israel, and there he built an altar unto the LORD.

³ And these Beerothites fled to Gittaim and sojourned there until the same time.

¹⁸ "On the hills was a voice heard, mourning, weeping and great lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they were not."

¹⁸ and another company turned the way to Bethhoron; and the third company turned to the way of the coast that turneth to the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.

¹⁴ And Meonothai begat Ophrah. And Seraiah begat Joab the father of them of the valley of craftsmen, so-called because they were craftsmen.

¹² The sons of Elpaal were: Eber, Misham, and Shemed — which built Ono, Lod, and the towns belonging thereto -

³⁷ The children of Lod, Hadid and Ono, seven hundred and one and twenty;

⁷ Cursed be their wrath for it was strong, and their fierceness for it was cruel. I will therefore divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.

¹ And then came the principal heads of the Levites unto Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun and unto the ancient heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, ² and spake unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan saying, "The LORD commanded by Moses, to give us cities to dwell in and the fields about them, for our cattle." ³ And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their inheritances, at the bidding of the LORD, these cities following with their suburbs. ⁴ And the lot came out unto the kindreds of the Kohathites: and the children of Aaron the priest which were of the Levites had given them by lot, out of the tribe of Judah, out of the tribe of Simeon, out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities. ⁵ And the rest of the children of Kohath had by lot, out of the kindreds of the tribe of Ephraim, out of the tribe of Dan, and out of the half tribe of Manasseh, ten cities. ⁶ And the children of Gershon had by lot out of the kindreds of the tribe of Issachar, out of the tribe of Asher, out of the tribe of Naphtali, and out of the other half tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities. ⁷ And the children of Merari by their kindreds, had out of the tribe of Reuben, out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve cities. ⁸ And the children of Israel gave by lot unto the Levites these cities with their suburbs as the LORD commanded by Moses. ⁹ And they gave out of the tribe of the children of Judah, and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, these cities by name: ¹⁰ which the children of Aaron, being of the kindreds of the Kohathites, and of the children of Levi, obtained — for theirs was the first lot. ¹¹ And they gave them Kiriatharba of the father of Anak, which is Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, with the suburbs of the same round about it. ¹² But the country that pertained to the city and the villages thereof, they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh, to be his possession. ¹³ And thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest the franchised cities of the slayer, Hebron with her suburbs, and Libnah with her suburbs; ¹⁴ and Jattir with her suburbs, and Eshtemoa with her suburbs, ¹⁵ and Holon with her suburbs, and Debir with her suburbs, ¹⁶ and Ain with her suburbs, and Juttah with her suburbs, and Bethshemesh with her suburbs: Nine cities out of those two tribes. ¹⁷ And out of the tribe of Benjamin they gave Gibeon with her suburbs; Geba with her suburbs; ¹⁸ Anathoth with her suburbs; Almon with her suburbs: Four cities. ¹⁹ All these cities of the children of Aaron priests were thirteen cities with their Suburbs. ²⁰ And the kindreds of the children of Kohath that were Levities — that is to say the other children of Kohath — had the cities of their lot, out of the tribe of Ephraim. ²¹ And they gave them the free city of the slayer: Shechem with her suburbs, in mount Ephraim; and Gezer with her suburbs; ²² and Kibzaim with her suburbs; Bethhoron with her suburbs: Four cities. ²³ And out of the tribe of Dan: Eltekeh with her suburbs; Gibbethon with her suburbs; ²⁴ Aijalon with her suburbs, and Gathrimmon with her Suburbs: Four cities. ²⁵ And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Taanach with her suburbs; Gathrimmon with her suburbs: Two cities. ²⁶ So that all the cities which were given unto the kindreds of the other children of Kohath, were ten with their suburbs. ²⁷ And unto the children of Gershon which were of the kindreds of the Levites, they gave out of the other half tribe of Manasseh, the city of refuge for the slayer, Golan in Bashan with her suburbs; Beeshterah with her suburbs: Two cities. ²⁸ And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishion with her suburbs; Daberath with her suburbs; ²⁹ Jarmuth with her suburbs; Engannim with her suburbs: Four cities. ³⁰ And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with her suburbs; Abdon with her suburbs; ³¹ Helkath with her suburbs; Rehob with her suburbs: Four cities. ³² And out of the tribe of Naphtali, the city of refuge for the slayer, Kadesh in Galilee, with her suburbs; Hammothdor, with her suburbs; Kartan with her suburbs: Three cities. ³³ So that all the cities of the Gershonites in their kindreds were thirteen with their Suburbs. ³⁴ And unto the kindreds of the children of Merari, the rest of the Levites, they gave out of the tribe of Zebulon: Jokneam with her suburbs; Kartah with her suburbs; ³⁵ Dimnah with her suburbs; and Nahalal with her suburbs: Four cities. ³⁶ And out of the tribe of Reuben, they gave Bezer with her suburbs; Jahaz with her suburbs; ³⁷ Kedemoth with her suburbs, and Mephaath with her suburbs: Four cities. ³⁸ And out of the tribe of Gad, they gave the franchised city of the slayer, Ramoth in Gilead with her suburbs; Mahanaim with her suburbs; ³⁹ Heshbon with her suburbs; and Jazer with her suburbs: Four cities in all, ⁴⁰ so that all the cities of the children of Merari in their kindreds, which were the rest of the kindreds of the Levites, were by their lot, twelve cities. ⁴¹ And all the cities that the Levites had in the possession of the children of Israel were forty eight with their suburbs. ⁴² And these cities had each their suburbs round about her throughout all the said cities. ⁴³ And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers. And they conquered it, and dwelt therein. ⁴⁴ And the LORD gave the rest round about according to all that he sware unto their fathers. So that there stood not a man of all their enemies before them. But the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hands. ⁴⁵ There escaped nothing of all the good things which the LORD had said unto the house of Israel. But all came to pass.

⁵⁴ And these are the dwelling places of them in their towns and coasts: I mean, of the sons of Aaron of the kindred of the Kohathites, for so their lot fell. ⁵⁵ They gave unto them Hebron in the land of Judah with the suburbs round about it. ⁵⁶ But the country and villages pertaining thereto, they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh. ⁵⁷ And to the sons of Aaron they gave the franchised cities, Hebron and Libnah, with their suburbs; and Jattir and Eshtemoa with their suburbs; ⁵⁸ and Hilen with her suburbs, and Debir with her suburbs; ⁵⁹ and Ashan with her suburbs, and Bethshemesh with her suburbs. ⁶⁰ And out of the tribe of Benjamin, Geba and her suburbs, Alemath with her suburbs, Anathoth with her suburbs: so that all their cities among their kindreds were thirteen. ⁶¹ And unto the sons of Kohath the remnant of the kin of the tribe, were cities given out of the half tribe of Manasseh, by lot, ten cities. ⁶² And unto the sons of Gershom among their kindreds were given out of the tribe of Issachar and out of the tribe of Asher and out of the tribe of Naphtali, and out of the tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities. ⁶³ And unto the sons of Merari were given by lot among their kindreds and out of the tribe of Reuben, and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve cities. ⁶⁴ And the children of Israel gave the Levites such cities with their suburbs, ⁶⁵ and that by Lot, out of the tribe of children of Judah out of the tribe of Simeon and out of the tribe of the children of Benjamin: even the said cities that are rehearsed by name. ⁶⁶ And concerning the sons of Kohath, the cities of their coasts were of the tribe of Ephraim. ⁶⁷ In which tribe they gave unto them the cities of Refuge: Shechem in mount Ephraim with her suburbs, and Gezer with her suburbs, ⁶⁸ Jokmeam with her suburbs, Bethhoron with her suburbs, ⁶⁹ Aijalon with her suburbs, and Gathrimmon with her suburbs. ⁷⁰ And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Aner with her suburbs, and Bileam with her suburbs among the kindreds of the remnant of the sons of Kohath. ⁷¹ And unto the sons of Gershom were given out of the kindred of the half tribe of Manasseh: Golan in Bashan with her suburbs and Ashtaroth with her suburbs. ⁷² And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kadesh with her suburbs, Daberath with her suburbs, ⁷³ Ramoth with her suburbs and Anem with her suburbs. ⁷⁴ And out of Asher, Mashal with her suburbs, Abdon with her suburbs, ⁷⁵ Hukok with her suburbs and Rehob with her suburbs. ⁷⁶ And out of the tribe of Naphtali, Kadesh in Galilee with her suburbs, Hammon with her suburbs, and Kiriathjearim with her suburbs. ⁷⁷ And unto the rest of the children of Merari were given out of the tribe of Zebulun, Rimmono with her suburbs and Tabor with her suburbs. ⁷⁸ And on the other side Jordan by Jericho, even on the east side of Jordan, were given them out of the tribe of Reuben: Bezer in the wilderness with her suburbs, Jahzah with her suburbs, ⁷⁹ Kedemoth with her suburbs, Mephaath with her suburbs. ⁸⁰ And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with her suburbs, Mahanaim with her suburbs, ⁸¹ Heshbon with her suburbs, and Jazer with her suburbs.
