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.

Commentary on 2 Chronicles 31:10

Theological / Devotional

Azariah. If this was the brave priest by this name who resisted Uzziah (ch. 26:17, 18), he must have been out of office for some time, possibly deposed by the idolatrous Ahaz, for Ahaz’ priest was the more docile Urijah (2 Kings 16:10-16).

House of Zadok. The priesthood of this line, descended from Eleazar (1 Chron. 24:3), is to be distinguished from that of the house of Ithamar, which lost the high priesthood to the house of Zadok when Abiathar was deposed by Solomon (1 Kings 2:26-35). At the close of Judah’s history the priesthood was of the house of Zadok (Eze. 44:15).

The Lord hath blessed. When the people were faithful in bringing in their tithes, God blessed them by giving them an abundant harvest (see Mal. 3:10).
