2 Chronicles 31:13 NIV

The tithes and other holy things being brought in, he provided, 1. That they should be carefully laid up, and not left exposed in loose heaps, liable to be wasted and embezzled.

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Chronicles 31:1-21

The works that came of faith. This chapter discloses to our view the perfection of activity. The rest of the Sunday, so to say, is followed by most laudable industry, and "the fervent in spirit" are "diligent in business" worthy of them. The picture is, indeed, of a living, moving scene. An army of volunteers issues forth from the recently purged city of Jerusalem to engage in worthy warfare, extirpating "images," "groves," "high places , " "altars," and utterly exterminating them from... read more

A nation's liberality; or, a lecture on tithes. I. THE IMPOSITION OF THE TITHES . Done by the commandment of Hezekiah ( 2 Chronicles 31:5 ), not, however, acting in his own name and by his own authority, but merely publishing the Law of Jehovah for the maintenance of those who conducted the temple service.

Systematic Church finance. Hezekiah was careful to provide for the distribution of the firstfruits and tithes and special offerings among the priests and Levites. So he had cells, or chambers, constructed for their reception ( 2 Chronicles 31:11 ), and every needful arrangement made for the due apportionment of all that was stored among those for whom it was intended. There are three points worthy of consideration, I. THE DISTINCTLY SACRED CHARACTER OF CHURCH FINANCE .... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 31:1-21

Hezekiah’s religious reforms (29:1-31:21)Immediately he became king, Hezekiah began a thorough reformation of Judah’s religion. This was prompted partly by the preaching of the prophet Micah (Jeremiah 26:17-19; see notes on 2 Kings 18:1-12).The Chronicler gives a detailed account of Hezekiah’s work, particularly that part of it which affected the temple, the priests and the Levites. Hezekiah called a meeting of priests and Levites and told them plainly that neglect of the temple was the reason... read more
