2 Chronicles 31:9

Verse 9 of 21. The 31st of 36 chapters in 2 Chronicles, in History.

5As soon as the commandment went out, the children of Israel gave in abundance the first fruits of grain, new wine, oil, honey, and of all the increase of the field; and they brought in the tithe of all things abundantly.

6The children of Israel and Judah, who lived in the cities of Judah, also brought in the tithe of cattle and sheep, and the tithe of dedicated things which were consecrated to the LORD their God, and laid them in heaps.

7In the third month, they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.

8When Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD and his people Israel.

9Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites about the heaps.

10Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said, “Since people began to bring the offerings into the LORD’s house, we have eaten and had enough, and have plenty left over, for the LORD has blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.”

11Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare rooms in the LORD’s house, and they prepared them.

12They brought in the offerings, the tithes, and the dedicated things faithfully. Conaniah the Levite was ruler over them, and Shimei his brother was second.

13Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers under the hand of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king and Azariah the ruler of God’s house.
