2 CHRONICLES 31:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Azariah the chief priest of 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 left plenty: for the Lord hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.”
Hezekiah's direction to prepare storerooms and the consequent preparation for receiving the tributes, tithes, and dedicated things demonstrates the administrative organization necessary to manage the material success of the reformation. The appointment of officials to take charge of the storerooms establishes clear responsibility for managing the accumulated goods. The comprehensive list of goods requiring storage—including the first fruits, tithes, dedicated things, and priest's portions—indicates the vast scope of material accumulated. The administrative attention to proper storing and distribution demonstrates that spiritual reformation requires proper material management and organizational competence. The establishment of an effective supply chain for managing temple resources enables the sustainability of the worship system.
