There were two<\/em> main families of priests, (1) the descendants of Eleazar the third son of Aaron, whose chief representative in David’s day was Zadok (hence they are here called “the house of Zadok”), (2) the descendants of Ithamar the fourth son of Aaron, represented in David’s time by Ahimelech (Saul’s victim) or by Abiathar (David’s protg<\/em>). The Chronicler prefers to name the descendants of Ithamar after Ahimelech (1Ch 24:3<\/span>).<\/p>\n the offerings<\/em> ] R.V. the oblations<\/strong> (so also 2Ch 31:12<\/span>).

Compare 2Ch 27:1<\/span>; 2Ch 28:1<\/span>.<\/P> The Lord hath blessed his people – <\/B>i. e. God has made the harvest unusually abundant, and hence the great amount of tithes and first-fruits.<\/P> <\/p>\n The chief priest of the house of Zadok; <\/B>either, <\/P> 1. The high priest, called also Zadok, 1Ch 6:12<\/span>, because he was of his line and family. Or, <\/P> 2. The chief priest, or the head of that family of Zadok, or of Eleazar; as there was another chief priest of the family of Abiathar, or of Ithamar; see 2Sa 8:17<\/span>; 1Ch 24:3<\/span>; but both subject to the high priest. <\/P> Since the people began to bring the offerings; <\/B>which they did from the beginning of the harvest, according to the manner. <\/P> The Lord hath blessed his people<\/B> in an extraordinary degree. <\/P> <\/p>\n 10. Azariah . . . answered . . . wehave had enough<\/B>This is probably the person mentioned (2Ch26:17<\/span>), and his reply was to the following purport: There hasbeen an abundant harvest, and a corresponding plenty in the incomingof first-fruits and tithes; the people have testified their gratitudeto Him who has crowned the year with His goodness by their liberalitytowards His servants. <\/P> 2Ch31:11-19<\/span>.

Who was the high priest of the family of Eleazar, in the line of Zadok, made high priest in Solomon’s time, when Abiathar was thrust out; Jarchi takes him to be the same Azariah that was in the days of Uzziah, 2Ch 26:17<\/span>,<\/p>\n 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<\/strong>; which were now four mouths since; and the priests and Levites, and their families, had partaken of them, and eat to satiety, and yet there was great plenty remaining:<\/p>\n for the Lord hath blessed his people<\/strong>: the Targum is,<\/p>\n “the Word of the Lord has blessed them,”<\/p>\n given them large crops this year, and a ready willing mind to bring in what is due for the service of the temple:<\/p>\n and that which is left is this great store<\/strong>; the heaps the king and princes saw, and inquired about; or what is left is for the great multitude of the priests and Levites, and their families, both at Jerusalem, and in the cities in the country; so Kimchi interprets it.<\/p>\n (10) Azariah.<\/strong>Possibly the Azariah of 2Ch. 26:17<\/span>. If not, he is otherwise unknown.<\/p>\n Since the people began to bring the offerings.<\/strong>Since they began to bring the Trmh<\/em>: a word which the Authorised Version usually renders heave offering.

(Comp. Hos. 4:2<\/span> for this construction.)<\/p>\n The Lord hath blessed his people.<\/strong>So that they were able to give liberally.<\/p>\n That which is left.<\/strong>After the maintenance o the priests has been subtracted.<\/p>\n This great store.<\/strong>In the Hebrew these words are in the accusative case.

The preparation intended is probably nothing but the clearance and cleansing of some of these cells for the reception of the stores.<\/p>\n 2Ch 31:10 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.<\/p>\n Ver. 10.
