Read 2 Chronicles 31 in context

Scripture Focus

11Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the LORD; and they prepared them,

12And brought in the offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: over which Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was the next.

13And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.

14And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter toward the east, was over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of the LORD, and the most holy things.

15And next him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their set office, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small:

16Beside their genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even unto every one that entereth into the house of the LORD, his daily portion for their service in their charges according to their courses;

17Both to the genealogy of the priests by the house of their fathers, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their courses;

18And to the genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation: for in their set office they sanctified themselves in holiness:

19Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, which were in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every several city, the men that were expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogies among the Levites.

2 Chronicles 31:11-19

Biblical Context

Hezekiah orders space and stewards to manage offerings and holy things; priests, Levites, and families are organized by courses to support worship. The whole is set apart as holiness in action.

Neville's Inner Vision

I see in this text a clear picture of the mind organized under a definite authority. The house of the LORD is not a place alone but a state of awareness brought into order by an inner king—your I AM—who commands the chambers of consciousness to be prepared for truth. The offerings and tithes are not external burdens but energy flowing through your attention; Cononiah, Shimei, and the others are your inner departments, each with a function, distributed by courses, just as your thoughts cycle through themes by habit. The freewill offerings and the most holy things are the conscious choices you dedicate to the good, and the daily portions are your repeated acts of attention given to the work of becoming holiness. By organizing genealogy—your beliefs about who you are and what you deserve—you align your inner lineage with the temple's service. When you sanctify yourselves, you are not performing rites but shifting your state of consciousness into wholeness, making room for the divine within. The result is orderly, sanctified life that supports true worship.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, breathe, and declare, 'I am the steward of my inner temple.' Visualize the chambers being prepared and your daily portions of awareness distributed to your greater good; feel the reality of order and sanctity now.
