Context of 2 Chronicles 31:8

6The people of Israel and Judah who were living in the cities of Judah brought a tenth of their cattle and sheep and a tenth of the holy things they had dedicated to the Lord their God. They piled these holy things in heaps. 7In the third month they started piling them up, and in the seventh month they finished. When Hezekiah and the leaders saw the heaps, they praised the Lord and his people Israel. 9Hezekiah asked the priests and the Levites about the heaps. 10The chief priest Azariah from Zadok’s family said, “Since the people started to bring the offerings to the Lord’s temple, we have had all we wanted to eat and plenty to spare. The Lord has blessed his people, and there’s a lot left over.”
