2 Chronicles 31 3-2 Chronicles 31 10
He also appointed the king’s portion of his possessions for the burnt offerings, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths, for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in Yahweh’s law.Moreover he commanded the people who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to Yahweh’s law.As 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.The 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 Yahweh their God, and laid them in heaps.In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.When Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed Yahweh and his people Israel.Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites about the heaps.Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said,“ Since people began to bring the offerings into Yahweh’s house, we have eaten and had enough, and have plenty left over, for Yahweh has blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.”

Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me!
