2 Chronicles 31:5–12

⁵When the word spread, the Israelites gave liberally of the best of the grain, new wine, oil, honey, and of all the produce of the field, and they brought in an abundance, a tenth ^eof everything. ⁶As for the Israelites and Judahites who lived in the cities of Judah, they also brought a tenth of the cattle and sheep, and a tenth of the dedicated things that were consecrated to the Lord their God. ^fThey gathered them into large piles. ⁷In the third month they began building up the piles, and they finished in the seventh month. ⁸When Hezekiah and his officials came and viewed the piles, they praised the Lord and His people Israel.

⁹Hezekiah asked the priests and Levites about the piles. ¹⁰Azariah, the chief priest of the household of Zadok, ^ganswered him, “Since they began bringing the offering to the Lord’s temple, we eat and are satisfied and there is plenty left over because the Lord has blessed His people; this abundance is what is left over.” ^h

¹¹Hezekiah told them to prepare chambers ⁱin the Lord’s temple, and they prepared them. ¹²The offering, the tenth, and the dedicated things were brought faithfully. Conaniah the Levite was the officer in charge of them, and his brother Shimei was second. ^j
