7. In the third month they began laying them in heaps, and they finished in the seventh month.
8. And when Hezekiah and the leaders came and saw the heaps, they blessed the Lord and His people Israel.
9. Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
10. And Azariah the chief priest, from the house of Zadok, answered him and said, “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 abundance.”
11. Now Hezekiah commanded them to prepare 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; Cononiah 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 ruler of the house of God.
