2 Chronicles 31:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 31:6

And concerning the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt
in the cities of Judah
As for the supplement "concerning", I see no need of it; the sense is, that when the king's edict was known by the inhabitants of the cities in the country, as well as at Jerusalem:

they also brought in the tithes of oxen, and sheep;
according to the law in ( Leviticus 27:32 )

and the tithe of holy things, which were consecrated unto the Lord
their God;
which Jarchi understands of the second tithe the Levites were to give to the priests; but Kimchi of things consecrated to sacred uses, and no longer for their own, and which were even free from tithing:

and laid them by heaps:
heaps upon heaps, such large quantities were brought in.

2 Chronicles 31:6 In-Context

4 In addition, the king told the people of Jerusalem to bring the offerings to which the priests and the Levites were entitled, so that they could give all their time to the requirements of the Law of the Lord.
5 As soon as the order was given, the people of Israel brought gifts of their finest grain, wine, olive oil, honey, and other farm produce, and they also brought the tithes of everything they had.
6 All the people who lived in the cities of Judah brought tithes of their cattle and sheep, and they also brought large quantities of gifts which they dedicated to the Lord their God.
7 The gifts started arriving in the third month and continued to pile up for the next four months.
8 When King Hezekiah and his officials saw how much had been given, they praised the Lord and praised his people Israel.
