2 Chronicles 31:4-10

4Moreover, he commandedH559 the peopleH5971 livingH3427 in JerusalemH3389 to makeH5414 a contributionH4521 for the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 so thatH4616 they could devote themselvesH2388 to the LawH8451 of the LORDH3068.

5As soon as the orderH1697 went outH6555, the IsraelitesH1121H3478 generously providedH7235 the firstfruitsH7225 of the grainH1715, new wineH8492, oilH3323, and honeyH1706, and of allH3605 the produceH8393 of the fieldH7704, and they brought inH935 an abundanceH7230—a titheH4643 of everythingH3605. 6And the IsraelitesH1121H3478 and JudahitesH3063 who livedH3427 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 alsoH1571 broughtH935 a titheH4643 of their herdsH1241 and flocksH6629 and a titheH4643 of the holy thingsH6944 consecratedH6942 to the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and they laid themH5414 in large heapsH6194.

7In the thirdH7992 monthH2320 they beganH2490 building upH3245 the heapsH6194, and they finishedH3615 in the seventhH7637 monthH2320. 8When HezekiahH2396 and his officialsH8269 cameH935 and viewedH7200 the heapsH6194, they blessedH1288 the LORDH3068 and His peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.

9Then HezekiahH2396 questionedH1875 the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881H5921 aboutH5921 the heapsH6194, 10and AzariahH5838, the chiefH7218 priestH3548 of the householdH1004 of ZadokH6659H559, answeredH559 himH413, “Since the people beganH2490 to bringH935 their contributionsH8641 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, we have had enoughH7646 to eatH398, and there is plentyH7230 left overH3498H5704, becauseH3588 the LORDH3068 has blessedH1288 His peopleH5971; thisH2088 great abundanceH1995 is what is left overH3498.”
