Then I selected twelve of the leading priests: ^(C1)Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and with them ten of their brothers;

and I ^(C1)weighed out to them ^(C2)the silver, the gold, and the utensils, the offering for the house of our God which the king, ^(C3)his counselors, his officials, and all Israel who were present there had contributed.

^(C1)So I weighed into their hands ^(F1)650 talents of silver, and silver utensils worth ^(F2)a hundred talents, and a hundred gold talents,

and twenty gold bowls worth a thousand ^(F1)darics, and two utensils of fine shiny bronze, precious as gold.

Then I said to them, "^(C1)You are holy to the LORD, and the ^(C2)utensils are holy; and the silver and the gold are a ^(F1)voluntary offering to the LORD God of your fathers.

"Watch and keep them ^(C1)until you weigh them before the leading priests, the Levites, and the leaders of the fathers' households of Israel in Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the LORD."

So the priests and the Levites ^(C1)accepted the weight of silver and gold and the utensils, to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.
