2 Chronicles 31:11

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

10 And Azariah the chief priest, from the ^ahouse of Zadok, answered him and said, ^b“Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the Lord, we have had enough to eat and have plenty left, for the Lord has blessed His people; and what is left is this great ^cabundance.”

11 Now Hezekiah commanded them to ^aprepare rooms in the house of the Lord, and they prepared them.

12 Then they faithfully brought in the offerings, the tithes, and the dedicated things; ^aCononiah the Levite had charge of them, and Shimei his brother was the next.

13 Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king and Azariah the ^aruler of the house of God.

14 Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the East Gate, was over the ^afreewill offerings to God, to distribute the offerings of the Lord and the most holy things.

15 And under him were ^aEden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, his faithful assistants in ^bthe cities of the priests, to distribute ^callotments to their brethren by divisions, to the great as well as the small.

2 Chronicles 31:1-21

Hezekiah destroys idolatry.

- After the passover, the people of Israel applied with vigour to destroy the monuments of idolatry. Public ordinances should stir us up to cleanse our hearts, our houses, and shops, from the filth of sin, and the idolatry of covetousness, and to excite others to do the same. The after-improvement of solemn ordinances, is of the greatest importance to personal, family, and public religion. When they had tasted the sweetness of God's ordinance in the late passover, they were free in maintaining the temple service. Those who enjoy the benefit of a settled ministry, will not grudge the expense of it. In all that Hezekiah attempted in God's service, he was earnest and single in his aim and dependence, and was prospered accordingly. Whether we have few or many talents intrusted to us, may we thus seek to improve them, and encourage others to do the same. What is undertaken with a sincere regard to the glory of God, will succeed to our own honour and comfort at last.
