John Trapp Complete Commentary

2 Chronicles 35:8

And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover offerings two thousand and six hundred [small cattle], and three hundred oxen.

Ver. 8. And his princes gave willingly.] Heb., To liberality. See the force of good example. These princes were none of the best, as appears in Zephaniah.

Two thousand and six hundred small cattle.] This these priests could not have done had they not been wealthy and well-underlaid, as we say.
