全新四年樂活讀經
經文: 歷代志下 31:21 凡他所行的，無論是辦神殿的事，是遵律法守誡命，是尋求他的神，都是盡心去行，無不亨通。
默想: 希西家王討神喜悅的，不只是努力潔淨聖殿以及恢復對耶和華獻祭與守節，更是遵行耶和華藉著摩西所頒布給以色列人的律法與誡命，還有親近神尋求神的旨意與帶領，希西家王在三方面都盡心去行，因此，他得到耶和華的祝福，無不亨通。求主幫助我們，在遷回新堂之後，不只是在敬拜上帝方面更討神的歡喜，更是在我們每天的生活行事，都能夠遵行聖經中的教導，而且我們每天都願意找時間靈修，常常親近上帝，這三方面我們都能夠盡心去做，好叫和平教會成為一個合神心意、討神歡喜的教會。
題目: 希西家…「他十分成功，因為他所做的…都是一心尋求上帝的旨意而做的。」(v21)試想，你所尋求的成功是什麼？
31:1 這事既都完畢，在那裡的以色列眾人就到猶大的城邑，打碎柱像，砍斷木偶，又在猶大、便雅憫、以法蓮、瑪拿西遍地將邱壇和祭壇拆毀淨盡。於是以色列眾人各回各城，各歸各地。
Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and broke in pieces the pillars and hewed down the Ashe'rim and broke down the high places and the altars throughout all Judah and Benjamin, and in E'phraim and Manas'seh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the people of Israel returned to their cities, every man to his possession.
31:2 希西家派定祭司利未人的班次，各按各職獻燔祭和平安祭，又在耶和華殿【原文作營】門內事奉，稱謝頌讚耶和華。
And Hezeki'ah appointed the divisions of the priests and of the Levites, division by division, each according to his service, the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and peace offerings, to minister in the gates of the camp of the LORD and to give thanks and praise.
31:3 王又從自己的產業中定出分來為燔祭，就是早晚的燔祭和安息日、月朔，並節期的燔祭，都是按耶和華律法上所載的；
The contribution of the king from his own possessions was for the burnt offerings: the burnt offerings of morning and evening, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, the new moons, and the appointed feasts, as it is written in the law of the LORD.
31:4 又吩咐住耶路撒冷的百姓將祭司、利未人所應得的分給他們，使他們專心遵守耶和華的律法。

31:5 諭旨一出，以色列人就把初熟的五穀、新酒、油、蜜，和田地的出產多多送來，又把各物的十分之一送來的極多。
As soon as the command was spread abroad, the people of Israel gave in abundance the first fruits of grain, wine, oil, honey, and of all the produce of the field; and they brought in abundantly the tithe of everything.
31:6 住猶大各城的以色列人和猶大人也將牛羊的十分之一，並分別為聖歸耶和華─他們 神之物，就是十分取一之物，盡都送來，積成堆壘；
And the people of Israel and Judah who lived in the cities of Judah also brought in the tithe of cattle and sheep, and the dedicated things which had been consecrated to the LORD their God, and laid them in heaps.
31:7 從三月積起，到七月才完。
In the third month they began to pile up the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
31:8 希西家和眾首領來，看見堆壘，就稱頌耶和華，又為耶和華的民以色列人祝福。
When Hezeki'ah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD and his people Israel.
31:9 希西家向祭司、利未人查問這堆壘。
And Hezeki'ah questioned the priests and the Levites about the heaps.

31:11 希西家吩咐在耶和華殿裡預備倉房，他們就預備了。
Then Hezeki'ah commanded them to prepare chambers in the house of the LORD; and they prepared them.

while Jehi'el, Azazi'ah, Nahath, As'ahel, Jer'imoth, Jo'zabad, Eli'el, Ismachi'ah, Mahath, and Benai'ah were overseers assisting Conani'ah and Shim'e-i his brother, by the appointment of Hezeki'ah the king and Azari'ah the chief officer of the house of God.
