2 Chronicles 31:2-5
_ _ Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests, etc. — The king now turned his attention to provide for the orderly performance of the temple-worship — arranging the priests and Levites in their courses, assigning to every one his proper place and functions — and issuing edicts for the regular payment of those dues from which the revenues of the sanctuary were derived. To set a proper example to his subjects, his own proportion was announced in the first instance, for to the king it belonged, out of his privy purse, to defray the expenses of the altar, both stated and occasional (Numbers 28:3, Numbers 28:4, Numbers 28:9, Numbers 28:11, Numbers 28:19); and in making this contribution from his own means, Hezekiah followed the course which David and Solomon had taken before him (see 2 Chronicles 8:14; 1 Kings 9:25). Afterwards he reappointed the people’s dues to the temple; and from its being necessary to issue a royal mandate in reference to this matter, it appears that the sacred tribute had been either totally neglected, or (as the idolatrous princes were known to appropriate it to their own purposes) the people had in many cases refused or evaded the duty. But with the improved state of public feeling, Hezekiah’s commandment was readily obeyed, and contributions of first-fruits and tithes were poured in with great liberality from all parts of Judah, as well as from Israel. The first-fruits, even of some articles of produce that were unfit for sacrifice (Leviticus 2:11), such as honey (Margin, “dates”), were appropriated to the priests (Numbers 18:12, Numbers 18:13; Deuteronomy 18:4). The tithes (Leviticus 27:31) were intended for the support of the whole Levitical tribe (Numbers 18:8, Numbers 18:20, Numbers 18:24). |
2 Chronicles 31:2
The tents — Within the gates of the house of the Lord: which is here called tents, because the host of the Lord, the priests and Levites, encamped there. And perhaps to intimate, that it was shortly to be removed. |
2 Chronicles 31:2
And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the (c) tents of the LORD.
(c) That is, in the temple where they assembled as in a tent. |

Psalms 134:1-3 [[A Song of degrees.]] Behold, bless ye the LORD, all [ye] servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD. ... The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.
Psalms 135:1-3 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise [him], O ye servants of the LORD. ... Praise the LORD; for the LORD [is] good: sing praises unto his name; for [it is] pleasant.

For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the LORD.
