Commentary on 2 Chronicles 31:4

Theological / Devotional

Portion of the priests. The people were instructed to give to the priests and the Levites the tithes and first fruits (v. 5) commanded by Moses (Num. 18:12—30).

Might be encouraged. Heb. chazaq, meaning basically “to be strong,” “to be firm.” Here it seems to have the meaning, “to fulfill strictly.” With adequate support the priests and Levites would have no necessity of engaging in worldly pursuits (see Neh. 13:10-14).
