⁶⁸Some of the heads of families, on coming to the house of the LORD in Jerusalem, made freewill offerings for the house of God, so that it could be set up again where it had stood. ⁶⁹As they were able, they gave to the treasury for the work 61,000 darics of gold, about 3 tons of silver and 100 garments for the priests.^g

⁷⁰So the priests, the Levites, some of the people, the singers, the gatekeepers and the temple servants lived in their towns, and all Israel lived in their towns.^h
