<04672> (8737)

went out
<03318> (8804)

<05838>

the chief

to bring
<0935> (8687)

the offerings
<08641>

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

we have had enough
<07646> (8800)

to eat
<0398> (8800)_,

and have left
<03498> (8687)

plenty
<07230>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath blessed
<01288> (8765)

his people

[them], {chambers: or, storehouses}

And brought in
<0935> (8686)

the offerings
<08641>

[things] faithfully
<0530>_:

over which Cononiah
<03562>

the Levite
<03881>

[was] ruler
<05057>_,

and Shimei
<08096>

his brother
