2 Chronicles 31:2-4
New English Translation

The People Contribute to the Temple

2 Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and Levites to do their assigned tasks[a]—to offer burnt sacrifices and present offerings and to serve, give thanks, and offer praise in the gates of the Lord’s sanctuary.[b]

3 The king contributed[c] some of what he owned for burnt sacrifices, including the morning and evening burnt sacrifices and the burnt sacrifices made on Sabbaths, new moon festivals, and at other appointed times prescribed[d] in the law of the Lord. 4 He ordered[e] the people living in Jerusalem to contribute the portion prescribed for the priests and Levites so they might be obedient[f] to the law of the Lord.
