References for 2Ch 31:8 —  1   2 

2 Chron. 31:1 all Israel. The festival united Judah and Israel and led to a popular movement to end pagan worship.

2 Chron. 31:2–21 The final stage in Hezekiah’s reforms is the restoration of the temple services, which evidently ceased when Ahaz closed the temple (28:24). This requires reorganization of the priests and Levites (31:2). It also requires that the people resume their tithes and offerings (vv. 4–19). Because of Hezekiah’s faithful leadership in these reforms, the Lord blesses the nation (vv. 10, 21).

2 Chron. 31:3 Hezekiah leads with the example of his own generosity, as David did before (1 Chron. 29:2–5).

2 Chron. 31:5–6 The firstfruits were for the priests (Num. 18:12–13) and the tithes were for the Levites (Num. 18:21, 24).

2 Chron. 31:7 The gathering of food lasts from the grain harvest in the third month (May–June, the Feast of Weeks or Pentecost) until the fruit and vine harvest in the seventh month (September–October, the Feast of Ingathering or Tabernacles). On these occasions and at Passover, all Israelite men were to come to the temple (Ex. 23:16–17).

2 Chron. 31:16–18 Distribution of food was made to priests and their families, including provision for males from three years old, the age by which they had been weaned.
