And his princes gave willingly to the people, to the priests and the Levites, etc.] Besides, to some other families, they gave also to poor priests and Levites, which the king’s bounty did not extend to; and these princes were not secular, but ecclesiastical princes, as follows: Hilkiah, and Zechariah, and Jehiel, rulers of the house; of the temple; Hilkiah was high priest, and the other two were chief priests, the one of the line of Eleazar, and the other of the line of Ithamar: these gave unto the priests for the passover lambs; 2600 small cattle; which were lambs, or kids, or both: and three hundred oxen; for peace offerings on the seven days of unleavened bread, to feast upon.
