19. Some of Aaron’s descendants, the priests, lived in the towns or on farms near the towns where the Levites were living. Men were chosen by name in each of these towns to give part of the collection to these descendants of Aaron. All the males and those named in the family histories of the Levites got part of the collection.
20. So King Hezekiah did those good things in all Judah. He did what was good and right and faithful before the Lord his God.
