Commentary

For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation one thousand bullocks, and seven thousand sheep,.... He separated them, as Kim chi interprets it, from his own herds and flocks; or out of his own substance, at his own expense purchased them; or lifted them up, as the word signifies, as heave offerings to the Lord; and gave them to the people for thank offerings to feast upon: and the princes gave to the congregation one thousand bullocks, and ten thousand sheep: for the same purposes, following the king's example: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves; besides those who had before, that they might be fit to offer this great number of sacrifices.
