Context of 2 Chronicles 31:21
19Some of the priests and Levites lived on the land around the cities that belonged to them. So the king's officers chose honest men to take the gifts to them. They gave them their proper share of the gifts. The priests had to be Aaron's descendants, and the Levites' names had to be on the list of Levite families. 20Those are the things that King Hezekiah did everywhere in Judah. He did what was good and right to please the Lord his God. He served God faithfully with all his strength. He helped the work in the temple and he obeyed God's law and his commands. So he was successful in the things that he did.
