2 Chronicles 31:4-6
New English Translation

4 He ordered[a] the people living in Jerusalem to contribute the portion prescribed for the priests and Levites so they might be obedient[b] to the law of the Lord. 5 When the edict was issued,[c] the Israelites freely contributed[d] the initial portion of their grain, wine, olive oil, honey, and all the produce of their fields. They brought a tenth of everything, which added up to a huge amount. 6 The Israelites and people of Judah[e] who lived in the cities of Judah also contributed a tenth of their cattle and sheep, as well as a tenth of the holy items consecrated to the Lord their God. They brought them and placed them in many heaps.[f]
