2 Chronicles 31:4–18

⁴Then he said to the people, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to give a gift for the priests and the Levites, so that they might be strong in the law of Yahweh. ⁵And the word spread. The Israelites gave abundantly from the firstfruits of grain, new wine, olive oil, honey, and all kinds of grains from the field. And they brought tithes of everything in abundance. ⁶Then the people of Israel and Judah who were living in the cities of Judah, they also brought a tithe of cattle and sheep and a tithe of consecrated objects to Yahweh their God. And they gave heaps upon heaps. ⁷In the third month the heaps began to pile up, and in the seventh month they ceased. ⁸When Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed Yahweh and his people Israel. ⁹And Hezekiah questioned^c the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps. ¹⁰And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok answered him, saying, “Since the offerings began to be brought to the house of Yahweh, we have eaten and been satisfied, and have much to spare, for Yahweh has blessed his people. Now see this abundant remainder!”

¹¹And Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of Yahweh, and they were prepared. ¹²Then they brought the offerings and tithes and holy objects faithfully. And over them as leader was Conaniah the Levite. And Shimei his brother was second in rank. ¹³And Jehiel, Azaziah, Nathan, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were chief officers under the hand of Conaniah and Shimei, his brother, by appointment of King Hezekiah. And Azaraiah was leader of the house of God. ¹⁴Now Kore the son of Imlah, the Levite, the gatekeeper of the east gate was over the freewill offerings of God, to give offerings to Yahweh and the most holy things. ¹⁵And at his hand were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah in the cities of the priests and entrusted^d to give to their brothers by working groups, according to the eldest to the youngest, ¹⁶besides their enrollment by genealogy, to males from three years old^e and above, to all who came into the house of Yahweh, as each day required^f for their service in their posts according to their working groups. ¹⁷And the enrollment of the priests was according to the house of their fathers, and the Levites, from twenty years old^g and above, according to their posts by their working groups. ¹⁸And they were enrolled with all their little ones, their wives, their sons, and their daughters for the whole assembly because of their faithfulness. And they sanctified themselves in holiness.
