And his princes gave willingly to the people, to the priests and the Levites,.... 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.

his princes--These gave to the priests and Levites; as those of Hezekiah's princes (2-Chronicles 30:24). They were ecclesiastical princes; namely, Hilkiah the high priest (2-Chronicles 34:9). Zechariah, probably the second priest of the Eleazar (2-Kings 16:18), and Jehiel, of the Ithamar line. And as the Levitical tribes were not yet sufficiently provided (2-Chronicles 35:9), some of their eminent brethren who had been distinguished in Hezekiah's time (2-Chronicles 31:12-15), gave a large additional contribution for the use of the Levites exclusively.

Princes - Not the political, but ecclesiastical princes, or the chief of the priests and Levites, whose names here follow. Levites - For the use of any of the families of them, as need should be. For they supposed the thirty thousand which the king had given were not sufficient for all the families.
