And concerning the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, etc.] As for the supplement “concerning”, I see no need of it; the sense is, that when the king’s edict was known by the inhabitants of the cities in the country, as well as at Jerusalem: they also brought in the tithes of oxen, and sheep; according to the law in (<032732>Leviticus 27:32) and the tithe of holy things, which were consecrated unto the Lord their God; which Jarchi understands of the second tithe the Levites were to give to the priests; but Kimchi of things consecrated to sacred uses, and no longer for their own, and which were even free from tithing: and laid them by heaps: heaps upon heaps, such large quantities were brought in.
