Context of 2 Chronicles 31:12

10And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok answered him, and said, Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of Yhwh, we have had enough to eat, and have left plenty: for Yhwh hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store. 11Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of Yhwh; and they prepared them, And brought in the offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: over which Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was the next. 13And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of God. 14And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter toward the east, was over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of Yhwh, and the most holy things.
