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.
