Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Chronicles 30:24

24 For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks, and seven thousand sheep ; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks, and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves .

First to God, to whom the parts appointed were offered in way of Thanksgiving; and then to the People, who feasted upon the Relicks, as the Offerer used to do in Peace-offerings: and H[illegible: 1+ letters] zekiah, who was the Offerer, gave away his Right in the Remains of the Sacrifices to the People.

Which Generosity is the more considerable, because it was in the Beginning of his Reign, when he found the Royal Exchequer exhausted and empty; and when he had been at great Expence about the Cleansing and refitting of the Temple, and making Preparations for this great Feast.

Having now both more Time and further Need of sanctifying themselves to offer these Numerous Sacrifices.
