2 Chronicles 31:5–12

^5*As soon as the order was given, the people of Israel brought gifts of their finest corn, wine, olive oil, honey, and other farm produce, and they also brought the tithes^s of everything they had. ⁶All the people who lived in the cities of Judah brought tithes of their cattle and sheep, and they also brought large quantities of gifts, which they dedicated to the Lord their God. ⁷The gifts started arriving in the third month and continued to pile up for the next four months. ⁸When King Hezekiah and his officials saw how much had been given, they praised the Lord and praised his people Israel. ⁹The king spoke to the priests and the Levites about these gifts, ¹⁰and Azariah the High Priest, a descendant of Zadok, said to him, “Since the people started bringing their gifts to the Temple, there has been enough to eat and a large surplus besides. We have all this because the Lord has blessed his people.”

¹¹On the king’s orders they prepared storerooms in the Temple area ¹²and put all the gifts and tithes in them for safe-keeping. They placed a Levite named Conaniah in charge and made his brother Shimei his assistant.
