2 Chronicles 31:10-18

10Azariah the chief priest 1of the house of Zadok said to 2him, “3Since 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.”

11Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare 4rooms in the house of the Lord, and they prepared them. 12They faithfully brought in the contributions and the tithes and the consecrated things; and Conaniah the Levite was the officer in charge 5of them and his brother Shimei was second. 13Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath and Benaiah were overseers 6under the authority of Conaniah and Shimei his brother by the appointment of King Hezekiah, and 7Azariah was the chief officer of the house of God. 14Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the eastern gate, was over the freewill offerings of God, to apportion the contributions for the Lord and the most holy things. 15 8Under his authority were 9Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah and Shecaniah in 10the cities of the priests, to distribute faithfully their portions to their brothers by divisions, whether great or small, 16without regard to their genealogical enrollment, to the males from 11 12thirty years old and upward--everyone who entered the house of the Lord 13for his daily obligations--for their work in their duties according to their divisions; 17as well as the priests who were enrolled genealogically according to their fathers’ households, and the Levites 14from twenty years old and upwards, by their duties and their divisions. 18The genealogical enrollment included 15all their little children, their wives, their sons and their daughters, for the whole assembly, for they consecrated themselves 16faithfully in holiness.
