The people began the piles in the third month and finished in the seventh month.
The people of Israel and Judah who lived in Judah also brought one-tenth of their cattle and sheep and one-tenth of the holy things that were given to the Lord their God, and they put all of them in piles.
When Hezekiah and his officers came and saw the piles, they praised the Lord and his people, the people of Israel.
