12 Then the Levites arose, Mahath the_son_of Amasai, and Joél the_son_ of Azariah, of the_sons_of the Kohath-
.jites: and of the_sons_of Merari, Kish
the_son_of Abdi, and Azariah the_son_ of Jehalelél: and of the Gershonites ; Joah the_son_of Zimmah, and Eden the_son_of Joah : 138 And of the_sons_of Elizaphan; Shimri, and Jeiél: and of the_sons_ of Asaph ; Zechariah, and Mattaniah :

15 And they gathered their -brethren, and sanctified_themselves, and came, according_to the.commandment_of bok —_ by the_words_of Jthe Lorp, to cleanse the_house_of? the Lorp.
16 And the priests went into the_ inner_part_of the_house_of 4 the Lorp, to cleanse it, and brought_out uncleanness that they found in the_ temple_of / the Lorp into the_court_of the_house_of 2the Lorp. And the Le- yites took it, to carry_it_out abroad into the brook Kidron.
17 Now they began on the_first day of the first xmonth to sanctify, and on the_eighth day of the month came they to the_porch_of Jthe Lorp: so they sanctified -the_house_of Jthe Lorp in eight days ; and in the sixteenth day of the first xmonth they made_an_end.
18 Then they went_in to Hezekiah the king, and said, “We have cleansed the_house_of J the Lorp, and -the_al- tar_of « xburnt_offering, ‘With -all the_ vessels thereof, and the ‘shewbread «table, with all the_vessels thereof.
12 Moreover all the vessels, which
*king Ahaz in his reign did_cast_away in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they are before the_altar_of J the Lorb.”
2» Then Hezekiah the king rose_early, and gathered -the_rulers_of the city, _ went_up to the_house_of /the
RD.
21 And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he_goats, for a sin_offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the_sons_of Aaron to offer them on the_altar_of J the Lorp.
22 So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received -the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: likewise, when they had_killed the rams, they fhe te the blood upon the altar:
ey killed also the lambs, and they pated the blood upon the altar.
3 And they brought_» forth «the he_ goats for the sin_offering before the
.| king and the as congregation ; and they
laid their hands upon them:
24 And the priests killed them, and they made_reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make_an_ atonement for all Israél: for the king commanded that the «burnt_offering and the sin_offering should be made for all Israél.
% And he set «the Levites in the_ house_of/ the Lorp with cymbals, with “}psalteries, and with harps, according_to
