³He also appointed ^athe king’s portion of his goods for the burnt offerings, namely, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths and for the new moons and for the fixed festivals, ^bas it is written in the law of the Lord.

⁴Also he ¹commanded the people who lived in Jerusalem to give ^athe portion due to the priests and the Levites, that they might devote themselves to ^bthe law of the Lord.

⁵As soon as the ¹order spread, the sons of Israel provided in abundance the first fruits of grain, new wine, oil, honey and of all the produce of the field; and they brought in abundantly ^athe tithe of all.

⁶The sons of Israel and Judah who lived in the cities of Judah also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and ^athe tithe of ¹sacred gifts which were consecrated to the Lord their God, and placed them in heaps.

⁷In the third month they began to ¹make the heaps, and finished them by the seventh month.

⁸When Hezekiah and the rulers came and saw the heaps, they blessed the Lord and ^aHis people Israel.

⁹Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.

¹⁰Azariah the chief priest ^aof the house of Zadok said to ¹him, “^bSince the contributions began to be brought into the house of the Lord, we have had enough to eat with plenty left over, for the Lord has blessed His people, and this great quantity is left over.”
