2 CHRONICLES 35:8 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.”
The officials' parallel contributions - Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel providing animals alongside the king's provision - indicates widespread elite participation in supporting the Passover and suggests that the reformation had generated genuine commitment among Judah's leadership. The enumeration of different contributors emphasizes that support for the reform was not limited to the king but extended throughout the political and religious establishment. The coordinated provision of resources suggests advance planning and coordination among multiple authorities. This verse demonstrates that sustained institutional reform requires broad-based commitment from multiple constituencies.
