The chief priest Azariah answered him. He said, "The people have been bringing their gifts to the Lord's temple. Ever since they began to bring them, we've had enough to eat. We have even had plenty to spare. That's because the Lord has blessed his people. So we have a large amount left over." Azariah was from the family line of Zadok.
