Protected journey and audited arrival in Jerusalem

31Then we set out from the river Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month to go to Jerusalem, and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy and the ambushes along the way.

32So we came to Jerusalem and stayed there three days.

33And on the fourth day, the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed out in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth son of Uriah the priest, and with him was Eleazar son of Phinehas, and with them were Jozabad son of Jeshua and Noadiah son of Binnui, the Levites.

34Everything was counted by number and by weight, and the total weight was recorded at that time.
